alt Hacker NewsI am amazed at this page's CSS. The body text is small so I hit command-+ to make it bigger... and it gets smaller instead. Reset and hit command--... and it also gets smaller. And reader mode's broken.

Pinch-to-zoom works on mobile (Android) for this site, since each post/article is just an image with a heading.
Swiping up to see the next post/article also retains the zoom, but the fonts & sizes in the posts/articles are not consistent, so we may need to zoom again to make the content fit better on the screen or to make it more legible.
The site reminds me of one of the glorious tools of the old Web - StumbleUpon (integrated as a browser toolbar) - which allowed to jump to random sites upvoted/liked by users. During its heydays, it even allowed users to host their own webpages, and interact in community forum, so like-minded strangers could discuss their fave topics and share nice new finds (websites, tools, etc.).
It's because the "body text" is actually a screenshot of text, for some bizarre reason.
Yeah, really bad UX. Unreadable.
I zoomed on Firefox on MacOS and the two finger scroll stops working. The scrollbar appears momentarily so I grabbed it but it jumps to the next article and scrolls left, which pushes the next article off the page to the right.
