Hacker News Reader

Totally not readable on a mobile. Left sidebar uses nearly the full screen even if you zoom in.

Sorry, but this is a developer portal -- not a news source or blog -- and really isn't meant to be used on a mobile device. I acknowledge that this may not be the answer you're looking for, but we didn't design the site for mobile because what it needs to do isn't really appropriate (or feasible) on mobile -- eg, the API console.

Well it is a news source, called hacker _news_. You telling me a developer doesn't read stuff on a cell is just complete BS. I never said i want a mobile site. Just a css that doesn't completely break on small resolutions. If you don't want to fix it fine. But don't give me such a BS answer.

I acknowledge this might not be the answer you were looking for.

I'm sorry, I think I misspoke. What I meant is: you're right. What we should have done, though, was link to a blog post for you to read, rather than the dev portal itself. It just wasn't realistic to build a mobile enabled dev portal, so we should have posted something mobile friendly instead.

The rage is uncalled for. Can you be civil?
