As part of the organizational change, I'd love to see a plan to making the Hacker News site work great on mobile.

What is there to complain about? It's a website that works fine on mobile and loads fast. It doesn't prevent me from zooming the way some mobile pages to, and it generally just works like it does from the desktop. I wish more sites were like this.

You can zoom in, but then you have to scroll left-right to read anything. At least it is that way with the default Chrome browser on Android. For me, I just use Opera when browsing HN which lets you set auto-reflow when zoomed in (although Opera isn't useful on sites that are designed for mobile, as it doesn't let you override those sites' zoom block).
