I can zoom in fine in android 2.2.

Why don't the YC people open up the site code and put it on github so we can contribute into making a better site?

Little known fact: the source code is available.

Note that the released source code is pretty different from the actual running site. In particular, all the rsvp code that caused the problem is not in the released source.

The HN source code is in the Arc language. See my site http://files.arcfn.com/doc/index.html for Arc documentation, specifically http://files.arcfn.com/doc/srv.html for the web server internals (including why links expire). Also see the App Server page which explains account management.

If you want to hack on this, there's a small but enthusiastic Arc community at http://arclanguage.org/forum

I did not know that. Thanks for the link. I shall go and dust off my LISP.

Now, if any fix is written, where is it to be submitted?

That's the reason to have the code up on github. I don't want to bother PG over this stuff.
