Off topic, but I’d love for HN to have larger buttons on mobile. Particularly the up/down vote buttons. I have to zoom in to press which makes it the only site I regularly interact with that requires this.

I literally just did exactly this to your comment. Bigger button or touch area for mobile would be fantastic.

Yes! And the button hit-area is a little strange, even zoomed in. Half the time I'm not even sure I hit the right arrow.

I'm a contrarian by Nature so I will play devil's advocate and point out that having a little obstacle to your vote is a step in the direction of making sure you really mean it.

I say that after zooming in to give you an upvote of course

Oh wow I thought everyone used third party client apps on mobile..! My experience with Octal on iOS has been really nice. The lack of a dark reader extension on iOS makes the regular site even harder to stomach but perhaps I should give it another chance.
