Ask HN: Can we set apart upvote and downvote buttons?

18 pointsby anton_tarasenkoover 8 years ago
A small request&#x2F;suggestion&#x2F;discussion: Upvote and downvote buttons are so close to each other that you can&#x27;t know which one you&#x27;ve pressed (especially on mobile).<p>Can we have them separated a bit or have the &quot;unvote&quot; button (appears after voting) renamed to &quot;cancel {upvote, downvote}&quot; or similar?

The cancel button is already &quot;unvote&quot; vs &quot;undown&quot;.<p>Not that we mightn&#x27;t want to improve the UI.

I mash the wrong one probably 25% of the time. And then I just feel awful.
