How often do mobile users hit the wrong HN button?

Question

I often use my phone to read HN. However, I find that it is easy to accidentally hide or flag a topic instead of clicking its link. Is this something that other people struggle with?Relatedly, is there a mobile frontend for HN?

I have both the accidental hide and flag problems. Additionally, I have trouble with the "new" link.

It&rsquo;s relevant but I don&rsquo;t find it to be a huge problem. My screen protector is broken around the edges which can make tapping sometimes erratic in those area. Prefer to use a web browser because of pinch-to-zoom features where I can just expand what I&rsquo;m trying to tap when necessary.

All. The. Frickin. Time.iPad Pro, circa 9&rdquo; model, vertical orientation. The prose text is very small. The grey name, time, &ldquo;buttons&rdquo; headers are very, very small. I suppose I could use custom css or increase the font size, but I have good eyesight and like the information density. It&rsquo;s always a crapshoot as to whether I can hit the teeny tiny touch target.
