Great stuff. I'm gonna incorporate this on my upcoming blog. Thanks!

On a side note. Could someone at YC fix the up vote arrows here? It's really hard to hit these tiny arrows without hitting everything around before, really messy. BTW, a larger textfield wouldn't hurt either.

PS: Sorry for stealing your topic, I just felt the need to say these things which I think don't bother only me. ;)



They don't only bother you, believe me. Most of us have simply given up asking for site changes. We hack the styles ourselves or simply deal with it.


Great tip, thanks for that. But I was referring to touch devices which make somewhat difficult to apply custom styles. So we shouldn't give up on our "demands" for better UX.


I agree, touch devices are the problem. I think there may be some apps out there for HN and the like, but a mobile-designed site would suit me better.


Warning, shameless plug incoming. I made a HN app for iPhone and iPad to solve some of the issues of the site. Mainly going back and forth from comments to article. Haven't gotten to a better voting yet, but I may in the future.

I have an app on my phone and a different one on my ipad. Checking to see if the one on my phone is yours- how can I tell?


I suspect it's not, as mine is universal. If you had mine on it, they'd both have the same icon. Also, you can go to the app store from the link above and if it says "Open" it means you have it on the device.
