yeah, the main page doesn't even use css, it's only html tags. you might ask the author to add viewport scaling on the <head>, even if it will kinda break the zen of the html:

   <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

You are right, though it is a shame a proprietary meta tag shoehorned into a CSS feature is now required to make unstyled webpages legible. With the fixed-width layouts of the 00’s there could conceivably be a justification, but never with CSS-less webpages. With all that said, I hope more people keep leaving out this tag, to remind some smartphone users that, despite all the wonders their $1000+ device can do, it doesn’t get unstyled HTML.
I've been using a gopher mirror to browse HN on my phone recently, and I love it. Quick page loads, legible text, and easy navigation.
