Don't bail. But here are my suggestions.

Make the "post" page more mobile friendly. Currently I need to scroll a lot to read the content. When I mean post page, I mean the page that comes up when you click on a post.

May be add a very teeny little margin. Again I know HN is more towards KISS, so you can ignore me here.

Apart from that, the rest works great on iPhone6. Good job.

This looks (and more importantly, works) much better than before. For those not on mobile, here is what the new layout looks like on an iPhone 6s on iOS 9.0.1. ==> http://imgur.com/5LgB1xB.jpg Here is what the comment page looks like ==> http://i.imgur.com/ugOASR5.png This is the viewport bug when you try to enter a comment ==> http://i.imgur.com/i0Ekiod.png and http://i.imgur.com/T0NDIFc.png

I didn't even have to put my device in landscape mode and pinch to read this post title. WTG.

Just opened the page on my phone and immediately wondered why the text was so readable without having to zoom in. Then saw the empty space around the page was gone, and then read the top post and it all made sense. This was a very pleasant surprise. I'd really like if you kept it, big improvement.

It would be nice if the mobile experience (or both) would use a simple javascript confirmation box when hitting "flag". Flagging seems like it should be an exceptional action and it simple to just hit "ok" as a confirmation step rather than trying to find what you accidentally flagged on the page to unflag.
