Would it be possible to add the following meta tag to Hacker News to make it easier to read on mobiles:<p><meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0; user-scalable=0;" /><p>Adding it allows the site to scale fluidly on small-screen devices and changes the view from this:<p>http://dl.dropbox.com/u/140/Hacker%20news%20without%20header.png<p>to this:<p>http://dl.dropbox.com/u/140/Hacker%20News%20with%20header.png<p>Thank you
I think this is a poor idea. I don't want comments nesting trying to fit only a couple words wide. I dislike sites that squash my window width on the iPhone.<p>The iPhone 4 display is 960x640, and I feel HN works well just the way it is.<p>Four screens: <a href="http://imgur.com/a/XDzRb" rel="nofollow">http://imgur.com/a/XDzRb</a><p>// Browser in screenshots is iCab in chromeless view.
No. The only thing wrong with HN on mobile is the position/size of the up/down vote buttons. Otherwise, if you are unable to read the text you should get one of those clients that makes the text humungous, like news:yc. Otherwise, HN (which is one of only three things I use my iPhone for: SMS, Maps, and HN in MobileSafari) nearly perfectly takes advantage of the screen real-estate with its current formatting.
