And I just want a reasonable font size. On desktop it is miserable -- I always need to zoom to 133% to match the font size I see on other websites. On mobile it is ok.

I find it way too small on desktop, but it's not an issue because the browser remembers my zoom level.

But I also find it too small on my mobile, and increasing the font size doesn't improve things, just makes it necessary to scroll sideways to read the comments.

Overall the font size settings on HN are crap. I really wish @dang would listen to the frequent complaints and fix them.

I use the addon stylus on Firefox and apply a custom css. HN is really easy to customize and it never change.

  • Yeah, my stylus override for HN is:

    .comment { font-size: 14pt; } .comhead { font-size: 12pt; }

    I set this up many years ago and have not had to touch it since.
