> Hacker News however?
While being completely useless on mobile, with tiny buttons and textarea, which could be fixed while barely making the whole thing larger.
- ale42 1y agoThat's not a JS problem. It's a UI problem and you mostly solve it with CSS and adapting the HTML, you don't need to add a 3 MB JS framework for that.
- ffsm8 1y agoMaybe we can do the fotm and instead generate it on the fly via an LLM? Each user can get their own stylesheet and every request will be a small surprise how it looks. Fantastic idea, right? No? Always these haters...
- vachina 1y agoHacker news is perfect on mobile. How often do you vote? It is so content dense it’s perfect for mobile.
- queenkjuul 1y agoThe reply, parent, context, and collapse buttons are almost unusably small
- gf000 1y agoHave you tried Sync, the reddit client? It's basically the same kind of content and it's night and day how much more usable and readable it is. Meanwhile I have to use a Firefox extension to make HN black-on-orange. But credit to lobster.rs, they also did an excellent job with the UI on web tech, while still being very reasonable on the css/JS side (though I can't check right now how much they serve)
- samat 1y agoLife changer for me was discovery of Scaling in iOS Safari. 125% it’s quite nice, actually. Large enough font to read.
- reddalo 1y agoI agree, it could become way better on mobile with just some small fixes. But in some ways I'm more afraid of a complete redesign.
- nurumaik 1y agoHacker News is the only usable mobile website
- gf000 1y agoMaybe that was true when we were using feature phones where you had to navigate up/down link-by-link in some awful UX.
