It's a real shame the site is never improved due to the captive market and lack of need to make things better. I am constantly downvoting on mobile when I mean to be upvoting for example, surely they could just make the clickable area bigger.
- yccs27 3y agoI also sometimes wish this site got an overhaul, but then I look at the new Reddit layout and feel glad HN hasn't changed like that.
- andy_ppp 3y agoYes completely, I can't understand why Reddit hate their users so much, I find the site totally unusable and I often just leave immediately if I visit it!
- Solvency 3y agoThat's the most slippery slope argument possible. "Whoa can't refine the hit state on two arrows by a few pixels! The whole site might become anew Reddit!"
- dspillett 3y agoI think the argument is more “if I had to choose between the two extremes, I'd definitely prefer this one” than the slippery slope of “I don't want change because change might lead to abomination”.

- bee_rider 3y agoThat’s interesting; this seems like one of the better mobile sites to me. I mean it is just a column of text. I don’t really care that much if I hit the wrong voting button, though. I’m just one little signal, if my inputs are slightly stochastic it shouldn’t matter too much. If I really love a comment I can zoom in a bit to hit the arrows.
