What you’re suggesting is heresy on HN. It’s true, a little bit of interactivity, fonts/padding/spacing would improve HN. To this day my thumb covers both the upvote and down vote button.

Yes, the UX on mobile leaves a lot to be desired in my opinion. The two things that are going for HN in its current form is the fact that it's lightweight and fast.

A lot of people think that moving to an SPA would mean killing both those aspects. But the truth is, you CAN have an SPA that is both lightweight and fast - the developer just needs to know what they're doing.

You can check out nodebb for example, tons of JavaScript and quite frankly it’s a better forum experience than reddit or HN:
