This site is horrible on mobile. Probably the worst I have ever seen. Totally unusable.

View on HN

Plain text version here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mvdan/talks/master/2018/go....

Also, it is an issue: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/27026. Marked as "help wanted".

The issue isn't describing what I see on Android. It's chopped off on the left and I can't zoom out. Not usable at all. As mentioned elsewhere, forcing the desktop view is better.

Forcing the desktop view is still pretty unusable on iOS Safari for me.

Forcing desktop "works" in portrait mode on my Android, but the text is pretty small. Landscape is cut off.

Interesting though, that iOS Safari is borked too. Did they just take wild guesses on the mobile css and hope for the best?

The raw text version should just be the link. Who wanted the slide deck version?

never heard of this plain text programming paradigm, very powerful

Yeah indeed, can't even really read it like this.

I get that some websites might not scale well, but this just goes beyond that. :(

They're slides, not a website.

Not sure what the point of your comment is, but that's a website presenting slides.

No, it's presentation software that's implemented via a website. The primary user of this software is the person giving the talk, not people on the internet. The fact that people on the internet can also see it is a bonus that comes with the choice of the implementation.

Complaining that this doesn't work on mobile is like complaining Powerpoint doesn't work on mobile.

Powerpoint does work on mobile ;-)
