How do people read HN comments on their phone? On Android, neither Firefox nor Chrome seem to do this correctly. Each line of text scrolls off to the right, there is no reformatting to the screen. So I zoom in to a readable size, and now half the text is not visible off the right so I have to navigate right to read then left then right then left. It's terrible. Why is this so awful?



I just use the https://cheeaun.github.io/hackerweb url. It formats the whole thing pretty nicely.



Report this to the HN staff.

HN used to not be mobile friendly at all, but recently they added the viewport meta tags and now it works very well on iOS. I now prefer vanilla HN over any other HN client on iOS.


There's awesome app for Windows Phone called 'Hacky News'. I guess there are similar apps for Android and iPhone.


It sometimes reflows for me. But only if I hold it sideways.
