Since they do not vary on size (no zoom on mobile site) they are quite easy to use. At last in my opinion. For the final product, we’ll take input from the beta. I’m investigating ways to use svg and image masks for everything.

How usable are the upvote/downvote buttons? Using them on the main site is horrible right now (on a mobile device)….

Right now it can be a little slow, but that’s mainly because it is running on the oldest and weakest of reddits servers. Although the switch to Cassandra picked its speed up quite a bit.

Really all the work has been using the awesome features in Webkit. The sheer ability to construct an awesome looking page, without using any images, is mind-boggling at times.

I even had a prototype that used CSS to create the arrows. But that isn’t going to be in the final version. We might, however, implement the arrows as a CSS mask…

Totally agree with your HTML5 ethos. The iPhone can do so much with an UIWebView that it’s tempting to do most of an App that way. Responsiveness in the second range gives one pause. Shout out if you need grunt Objective-C help.

Thanks for the video … the loading alien head is hilarious. So much potential. Is that the iPad simulator?

No, lol. It is a special version of Google chrome designed to emulate mobile browsers.

We’re doing work daily. Bits of CSS, JavaScript, and python get (or should I say git) pushed around daily.

We still have to make a few pages, the mobile frame (in-site toolbar), and then test bugs, but a beta should be along soon!

I can’t wait for this to be released.
