Feedback: The back to to top button gets obscured by the navigation keys on iPhone. Also, the page would benefit from a more fitting viewport on small devices.

#122Earlier quoted context omitted.
If I'm not mistaken, Fn + Left Arrow is Home on a Mac. Similar to Fn + up/down is Page Up/Down, and IIRC Fn + Right is End.
It still amazes me that people tolerate that as a substitute. It's a key combo that requires two hands, for what on a regular keyboard is one finger. Perhaps Mac people never hold a cup of coffee in their hand while using a computer?
right cmd + up arrow and you end up with free cofee-hand

#123The "back to top" functionality is so useful in web pages. I wish they would make a dedicated button on keyboards that just takes you to the top of the page. Better yet, it can work in other apps too! It could, for example, take you to the beginning of a line when you're writing text. Edit: Wow, I thought I was going the extra mile to make the joke obvious by saying the key should also take you to the beginning of a…
Over the years I've tried to teach people about the Home key but to no avail. Similarly I've tried to teach people about using middle-click to open a link in a new tab, or some basic readline functionality like Ctrl-a, Ctrl-e for beginning end of line. But I've not seen a single other person use these features. Strange.
Thinking about it some more, I was being driven in a friend's BMW one day and there was some bad smell coming from outside so I asked if I should press the air recirculation button. It turns out he'd had that car for more than five years and had never pressed that button. In fact, he'd never pressed, nor seemingly even wondered about, most of the buttons in the car. Strange.

Use the keyboard? Do I look like some sort of hacker? I just mastered double clicking so I’ll just keep clicking thank you very much.

#125Very good, but it should also be non-functioning 60% of the time due to repairs and/or inspections.

#126Ugh, I thought I had tabs muted by default in my browser... Clearly I was mistaken. Turns out I need an extension for it. But now I have ugly mute symbols on every single tab which isn't "default" at all. What I want is sound symbols on tabs that I have expressly un-muted.

Hacker News attracts a lot of smart readers, so I'm kind of surprised that your comment actually 'fooled' people. It was very obvious sarcasm.
its not a surprise at all
