Hey @codinghorror, here’s a question for you:
See how the font changes sizes in the middle of the page? I see this on my Android tablet probably two or three times in a given hour of reading.
Why’s it doing that?
(ETA - Android 4.4.2 on a cheapo tablet, with Chrome.)
I looked at the post and the markup seems fine in it.
Have you updated to latest Chrome? You can also try Chrome Beta which is fairly stable – avoid Chrome Dev though which is bleeding edge.
Sometimes the browser chooses the smaller font, and sometimes the larger, and I have no idea how it chooses.
And then, usually while scrolling down, it will just…change.
Chrome should be ok, I let it auto-update.
It’s not a big deal, it just seems strange to me. Thanks!
While we’re here, would you like to tell us about the new Make Wiki button?
Chrome has a “feature” where it will try to dynamically resize text that it considers “too small” for your mobile screen.
I haven’t seen that particular “feature” rear its ugly head in a long while, but it looks like that is what you are seeing. I recommend using Chrome Beta to see if that helps. As I mentioned, it’s pretty stable. Dev is where the fragile stuff is.
Not going to answer the other, as it’s off topic.
We changed our android detection a bit and err heavily on the side of sending the mobile design down now. I believe this will help, unless you are one of the very few people on a large Android tablet, in which case you will hate me with the fire of a thousand 
s.
TL;DR Android tablet ecosystem is more or less dead meat at this point in time relative to iPad (also, the iPad is a hell of a lot better hardware, software, apps you name it, it’s better on iPad, Android tablets are a wasteland of manifold disappointments).
Android phones on the other hand – alive and doing quite well, thanks for asking!
