Looks cool!

Mobile experience seems poor:

- Weird margins taking up lots of the screen

- Back button seems to be disabled (I pressed it about 200x trying to get back to HN and nothing happened)

- "view mode" would be nice: don't pop up keyboard for editing when I click on some part of a source file, but still support clicking symbols and offering options e.g. jump to definition.

Thanks for the feedback. We haven't done much mobile-specific work, and Sourcegraph does not work well on mobile. (Unlike most sites, very few people actually use Sourcegraph on mobile, but we want to make a great first impression no matter what.) We will be improving the mobile experience in a few weeks.

mobile is a huge deal for me. continuity is very important for my toolset. i also do over 50% of casual code reading mobile. mobile is also where i have the biggest issue that you solve. on desktop, i don't really need your product, on mobile i desperately do.

Got it. I'll email you. I would love to learn more about how you read code on mobile.
