Ask HN: Why does not HN have a mobile friendly site?

It seems to be pretty easy to make. A work for one or two days for simplest styles for mobile. Currently, I visit the site from android mobile phone and I really like it. But the site looks very unfriendly on my phone: tiny fonts, desktop layout, everything is small. Make it guys :) please. P.s. I know about apps for HN and android.

What's wrong with me? I use HN over Opera or Dolphin all the time.

The problem with so many commercial "mobile-friendly" sites is that they are just dumbed-down abonimations.

Worse yet is when a site dumbs down its desktop site to limit it to the "feature" set of its mobile offering, like Stubhub recently did. They actually stripped out the ability to search for 5/6/7/8/9 seats; search by SRO or non-SRO; search by handicapped accessibility (!); search by aisle seating; search by listings which include parking, etc... all criteria that were baked into the desktop site for years.

I never figured out how to make mobile Firefox render HN nicely. Mobile Chrome can be configured to make HN easier to use, but it still has its charming warts.
