> Ironically, table-based HN has the best responsive behavior for reading text on mobile than any "responsive" site

No it doesn't, HN literally sucks on mobile. From the top of my head:

- On the front page I always click the stories title when I want to click on the "xxx comments" link

- When reading comments, it's impossible to use the tiny [-] buttons to collapse threads

- "code" blocks are still broken




The first two are some of the best things about browsing the site on a BlackBerry with Firefox and Vimium: clicking links are only a keyboard shortcut away.

Same goes for sites that don't scale nicely and have interfaces designed for desktop. "Clicking" links is always easy.


i agree about the typography but that wouldn't be fixed if the site was responsive
