That turn of events always struck me as funny too.
Ironically (re. the title), I believe he even referred to the preceding standard of mobile browsing as the “baby web”.
But now “responsive design” has taken over instead. Still no multitouch.
- johnnyanmac 3y agoIt's a shame because there very much are parts of the web that would benefit from proper multitouch support. But it's clear at some point that bespoke websites were abandoned (from a marketing and technical standpoint) by large companies in lieu of native mobile apps. Tangent aside, HN is a site purely focused on text with no dynamic content. It really doesn't benefit from needing to zoom in and out on your phone. It's just unnecessary friction.
