Not related to the content, but why do sites like this disable pinchzoom? What value could it possibly add?



Yesterday I needed to look at source code on GitHub using my iPhone. Horizontal scrolling AND pinch-to-zoom were disabled, making it impossible to read lines of code wider than my phone screen.

Github.

Why is this so hard?


For the same reason other sites use floats for sidebars: they hate you and want to become irrelevant.
