- istjohn 2y agoI mean, the upvote buttons could be bigger on mobile.
- joshdavham 2y agoGreat comment. I almost downvoted it by mistake ;)
- kedarkhand 2y agoThere is a downvote button here??
- owebmaster 2y agoonly after you prove you fit in
- joshdavham 2y ago> There is a downvote button here?? Haha yes. You get access after getting a bunch of karma.

- xen0 2y agoI routinely read HN on my phone. I'm doing it right now. I think I've only accidentally flagged about posts by mistake...
- joshdavham 2y ago> I believe you are confusing "effective" with "ugly" Oh no, I truly believe it’s ugly.
