One area where HN has done poorly for years is accessibility, both on desktop (poor) and mobile (very poor). Most of the click and tap targets are quite small, and are spaced quite close to each other. Most of the fonts are quite small.
Unintentionally downvoting something when intending to upvote it (or vice versa), unintentional flagging of a post, etc., happen more often.
Isn’t there a web designer out there who can create a better (yet simple) CSS for HN to use and donate it? Isn’t YC capable of spending some pocket change on improving accessibility on one of its important sites? How about a design competition (with constraints) with the top five getting some reward and letting the users choose (in their profiles) which of these winning stylesheets they’d like to use? Or just allow a URL for stylesheet in the user profile so anyone has the freedom to customize it however they like?
