Hacker News Reader

On mobile it's very difficult to read because the font is too small and line width is too long, so I have to choose between squinting or scrolling back and forth and back and forth and.. (or use Firefox's reader mode). I don't mind plain text, but this site is several orders of magnitude harder to read than http://motherfuckingwebsite.com

Woah really? It rendered just like motherfuckingwebsite for me on mobile.

edit: I was using readermode lol. The site does not look good at all on mobile.

On mobile it's really easy for me to read. Don't is at a natural size and lines wrap appropriately.

[edit]

Oh I see it looks bad in Firefox on mobile. Fair enough.

It's pretty uncomfortable to read on desktop, too - at least on my large monitor - since there are no margins.

I do most of my HN browsing in the app [Materialistic], so I usually first look at articles using the built-in webview, then open externally in Firefox if that doesn't render correctly (which is unfortunately common. Not sure why, but I'm inclined to blame either the app or webview; for example, Wikipedia is served as a static site but renders as a blank page). In this case, they both rendered the same way (but was able to read the page with FF's reader mode).
