http://i.imgur.com/qr6MAwK.jpg This is absolutely awful, how do I fix this? Edit: I guess that isn't so awful, but before you could see maybe 20% of the links and zoom in as needed. Now it's forcibly zoomed in so much you can only see one link and everything is squashed together.

#42The new version looks much better to me on iPhone 6. No longer do I have to zoom in or use landscape mode to read the titles.
Up and down arrows should be more separated. Ideally up-down should be undoable, I know it's harder to do.

#44No, I vastly prefer the mobile site on my phone.
Please, on #hnmain: width: 100%; // Fixes white borders (browser default table width is normally something like 85%) max-width: 750px; // Keeps columns from getting overly wide on desktop
I do it because I think it maps better to text widths, which is what you ultimately want to prevent getting overly wide. It also handles different font sizes fine, making the site still accessible for people with big system-wide fonts.
I'd like to know, is there a downside to em or a reason to use px instead?

#47I'd be happy to help improve, even working within the constraints of not changing any of the underlying markup. Feel free to message me.
Also what's with the '.rotate180' CSS class in the stylesheet, as much as I love reading upside down, I can't see why thats needed?

#49Also, this thread is going to get voted way up because the title just says HN: Mobile Site. But not necessarily because the op doesn't like it.
