Side note: I use http://cheeaun.github.io/hackerweb/ http://cheeaun.github.io/hackerweb/ multiple times a day and love it.
But as to the bigger issue here:
The maintainer of Hacker News website appears to be obstinate when provided suggestions, help and development time: [links] The current status is the developer has applied a viewport to a table-based layout and saw that it failed. This table-based layout has been in place since 2007, and I don't believe there have been any efforts by the owners to update it.
I, and many others from the community, have volunteered code and time to upgrade the website but these contributions have been rejected by kogir.

- danieltillett 11y agoDoes anyone know why this is? It seems to be almost the opposite of the whole HN community approach.
- markdown 11y agoThe dev is pulling a Gruber. (Ref: refusing to update or handoff Markdown to volunteers)
- danieltillett 11y agoI am more interested in the why? There must be a reason other than ego.
