I am a fan of your site and appreciate your thoughtful writing, but I found that I could not get very far through this article on mobile (and I usually read HN on mobile, not desktop). The problem is the layout. The font is small, and if you zoom in, it does not wrap.
I have noticed this is the past, it's not the first time that one of your articles has been linked on Hacker News. And I always thought it was strange, because you appear to use very minimal CSS styling, that word-wrapping would not work properly "out of the box".
Looking at this page now (on my laptop) I see that everything is inside of a fixed width (1150px) table, so that explains it.
Have you thought about changing your pages to use a more mobile-friendly setup, like a flexbox layout?
I imagine now that you have hundreds of pages and years of content under your belt (quite an impressive site!) it might be difficult to make such a change on all of your content!
For what it's worth op, I'd be happy to help script out a process for extracting your old content into a new format (something like markdown so you can use whatever site generator tickles your fancy) and it's one I've scripted a few times before. Feel free to drop me an email.
