This is a big step in the right direction. Could use a bit of work but it's good enough that it will probably replace my hn app which has never gotten commenting or voting quite right.

#253Keep it. But on Chrome for Android, even on a 1080p display, 31% of the screen width is wasted! http://imgur.com/MNVnanN Wasted screen space is my #1 pet peeve on mobile.
I am not seeing that problem on my device. What version of Chrome are you using?

#254This looks (and more importantly, works) much better than before. For those not on mobile, here is what the new layout looks like on an iPhone 6s on iOS 9.0.1. ==> http://imgur.com/5LgB1xB.jpg Here is what the comment page looks like ==> http://i.imgur.com/ugOASR5.png This is the viewport bug when you try to enter a comment ==> http://i.imgur.com/i0Ekiod.png and http://i.imgur.com/T0NDIFc.png

Yep. Seeing the same thing on a Nexus 5 using Chrome.

#258It looks ok in firefox and chrome on the nexus 5x. Comments clip off the screen when you click into a comment section. When you zoom out, they're harder to read.

Yes, this is frustrating.

#259I'm finding the font size is too small on mobile - generally you want to go a little bigger on mobile.

#260Keep. I would add another couple pixels of padding to the left and right of the site though when on the newsfeed page.
