What Hacker News says?

  1. Oh yeah, definitely something I’ve witnessed and been frustrated by before. Some of it stems from improper use of CSS units [1], and the only real recommendation I have is for people to _test_ for basic things like zooming in and out of the page, while keeping close in mind _the reasons_ people might want to zoom in and out of the page.
