Not related to this but please github choose a better font to render code in android browsers, the current one's unreadable!

I thought GitHub used system fonts?

They try, but there is not really predictable and simple way to select those fonts in CSS. I've had times when Courier was used on Linux because the MS fonts we installed.

I would prefer they just do font-family: monospace

Is this the problem where it appears almost double spaced? That's what I get on Chrome 58.0.3029.83. And the scrolling performance is horrible, I assume it's some js stuff happening.
Looks fine to me. What version are you on?
Chrome 58 on android 6.0.1 and the device is nexus 7 2013
Borrowed someones nexus [praise Duarte?] to check this... Text looks good, code snippets looks kinda crap. Not unreadable but not great either.

Same page looks great on firefox so this is chrome shenanigans.
