I am not a css hacker but please HN change your css. smartphone experience suck

I much prefer the current HN smartphone experience to some stupid thing that displays one comment at a time in a huge font and is missing half the options.

It does suck on non-smartphones phones, but nobody cares about that anyway.

Have you tried any mobile app? There are a lot of great apps for HackerNews. I use HackerNews2 for my Android device and HackerNode for my iPhone.

Actually, changing the CSS is not necessary. All that is needed are a couple of meta tags (viewport) in the head and switching textareas to css-based relative width instead of using cols...

That's the point, a whole app (maybe useless) because of the lack of 10 css lines.

I just want to remove the need to zoom, and make it a little more readable
