Not sure if Algolia doesn't generally work on mobile but this page is unusable on my Galaxy S8 in Chrome. See https://imgur.com/a/SEP6qdo

Yeah that's what it looks like on Android Firefox too. Algolia powers HN search and it's always worked fine for me.

If you want the law in a machine-readable format (YAML / JSON), we open-sourced our GDPR portal which includes parsers and raw data for the entire law as well as all recitals and footnotes in German as well as English:

https://github.com/DPKit/gdpr-portal

The website itself is available here:

https://gdpr.dpkit.com (EN) https://dsgvo.dpkit.com (DE) (works well on mobile too)

This is a work-in-progress, please let us know if you have any questions.

This is great! I love how it automatically pulls full definitions for terms from the relevant "Article 4. Definitions" section and surfaces them throughout the text. I would love to see more legislation made available in this easy to understand format!

This is nice. Though it’s worth pointing out to UX folks that flags are not languages. http://www.flagsarenotlanguages.com/blog/why-flags-do-not-re...

Oh, darn. I read the domain name and thought it'd be a discussion about how forcing users to memorize two-hundred command-line switches is an extremely poor substitute for an actual domain-specific language. ;)

Particularly when the wrong flag is used. In this case, Gaelige is given the Scottish flag when it's actually the official language of Ireland in the EU. Scots and Irish Gaelige are not the same language. And Scotland is not an EU member (it's membership, sadly, is by virtue of the UK's membership)
