Not really, the constant zooming is pretty awkward. I know this is the wrong opinion to have on HN, but at least having the content scale to the viewport appropriately is a much nicer experience.

Don’t get me wrong either, this is still a much much better mobile experience than popover garbage and JS dynamic wank.

Agree. The website is not usable with one thumb on mobile.

Maybe language models will bring back the concept of a “user agent”. One could imagine feeding a GPT the source for this page and receiving mobile-friendly source as output.

I’m looking forward to the day where the AI screens all markup rendered in my browser. (Let’s not think of how power inefficient this would be…)

That's certainly one way to add <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />

:p
