I actually think it's much harder to read in portrait mode since the titles have all different lengths. It's okay in landscape though.

It looks nice and easier to read, but I signed up to this site a few days ago because of the bad/lack of css. I don't mind having to zoom in manually as I do on reddit too.

Doesn't work well on Iphone 5s landscape. I usually checkout HN once a day on my phone. I find most sites that try to cater to phones degrade my experience...

Keep. But make voting arrows bigger.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

But why does horizontal mode (my standard casual reading mode) look so blown out? ==> http://imgur.com/5Z6q6wI (iOS 9, iPhone 5, Safari)

Looks like they need to use -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%

If they can fix this, then I'm all for the new layout!

Much better than the last attempt at mobile, and much better than no mobile styles at all. Please keep!

Awesome! Yes, keep it, and please press on. Here's some feedback: - The tap targets for the menu at the top (new, threads, etc) is too small. You can make it bigger, and put the more little-used items into a "more" button. - The tap target to get to the comments and flagging are way too small. Flagging isn't common, so that could be more hidden. Comments could be a right arrow button to the right of the title link. C…

These are good suggestions, and probably easy things to tweak.

Keep, but as others suggested it can still be tweaked a bit. I'm on android chrome and below is what I'm seeing, it would be great to remove the white space on the sides like others have shown it is on the iphone... http://imgur.com/zaHK3PC

I'm seeing the same white bars on Firefox/Android, but only in portrait. Landscape is fine.

The comment page doesn't scale well with Firefox on my hm note 1s. I have to manually zoom out to get the full view.

That aside, the homepage looks good. I'd like the new look be kept, with the comment page rewritten.

Agree, I'm getting the same thing on an Iphone 5s. But much better than before!

Same here. On Android, OnePlus + Chrome
