Ask HN: New attempt at mobile markup – keep or bail?

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

Keep it. The text flows nicely now -- that was my biggest problem with the previous mobile UI.

It's a good step! I have suggestions to clean it up:

1- You should add a margin on the left and right side so that the content doesn't bleed to the edge of the screen. (10px would keep it aligned with the input bar on iOS Safari).

2- The floating login link looks weird, I would just add it along the rest of the links below "Hacker News". To keep it tight, only show the Submit link if the user is logged in.

3- Add margin to the logo and make it bigger. Also, the entire orange bar could be made more spacious.

The main difference I notice is that I can no longer double-tap to zoom on the main page. I can learn to get used to pinch zooming, but it will be more difficult to use HN with one hand on my large phone.

I have to zoom because otherwise it's impossible to click the correct links.

Much better here (android). Some things:

1. Possibly too much whitespace left/right of content.

2. Are the rank numbers necessary, or could they be moved to the meta-detail?

3. Bigger upvote and comment targets would be nice.
