| ▲ | hacker161 4 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | “Borderline unusable” is such a hyperbolic way to describe a fully functional design that doesn’t happen to be responsive. Hacker News must be borderline unusable for you as well then, no? | | |
| ▲ | embedding-shape 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | > Hacker News must be borderline unusable for you as well then, no? On my phone? Yes, absolutely, impossible to hit the links correctly even if I zoom in. Both old reddit and HN is "Fully functional" on desktop, agree, but far cry from "fully functional" on my arguably tiny iPhone. | | |
| ▲ | nemomarx 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | Is that a ios browser difference? I browse hn all the time on my android phone and I didn't think my screen was unusually big. Maybe they implement some different scaling? | | |
| ▲ | pesus 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | I almost solely use HN on my iPhone browser. It works very well and the scaling is well implemented, although it is a little too easy to accidentally fat finger and vote/flag something without realizing it. I actually find the desktop site (on my laptop) to be a bit hard to use due to its narrowness and small font size, but I'm not sure how universal that is. |

| ▲ | alienbaby 4 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | It's perfectly fine and usable for me. More so than the app or the 'new' Reddit design. I exclusively use the old design. |
