> To be fair, I wish HN had a substantially bigger font, for phone reading.

On desktop, HN is the only website that I have "zoomed". 120%, btw.

Ah, mostly the same for me! (I'm very happy with it this way and wouldn't expect the site to change). But I do this on a couple of other text-heavy sites also, but not many.

So often a zoom will break complicated UI layouts and their JS interactions, so I appreciate the simplicity of this site allowing my user agent to customise my experience and still have it work.

Number one should be larger up/down buttons. Not much larger, but just big enough.

I zoom in via my phone’s browser and it works well
