This is nice, but on mobile, I get a huge blank margin to the right.

So do I (on iOS), it seems to be caused by the math overflowing the page.

I can replicate it in Firefox for Android, as stated it's due to the math figures being too rigid (which subsequently overflows).

Hi, ar5iv creator here. Just to jot down that:

1. This was first reported to HN 55 days ago, discussion is here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30163308

2. There is an official arXiv blog announcement with a little bit of extra details here: https://blog.arxiv.org/2022/02/21/arxiv-articles-as-responsi...

---

When I first commented on HN, I mentioned that I really hoped we can find a way for arXiv to officially endorse the project and adopt it, so that we solve the copyright issues and get on a healthy path to full integration with the service. That happened a month ago! More healthy work ahead.

Thanks to everyone on HN for the feedback so far. If/when you see broken renderings (still plenty of examples) do comment with the article link, or (even better) use the "report an issue" button at the bottom of each document page. Cheers!
