It’s super easy to click the downvote button by accident on mobile when you meant to upvote. And this UI will never be fixed because this is HN after all.
This is precisely the reason that I do not log in to HN on my phone. My phone is read-only and if I want to upvote or comment then I have to switch to my laptop. Pretty easy with firefox because I can send tabs to other devices.

I just implemented an HN UI. This is good feedback as I'm aiming to have a mobile friendly web version.

Zoom in or unvote/revote
That is why I like harmonic app, there is an invite button separating the upvote and downvote. Never going to have this kind of issue
This is true, however you can see if you downvoted by the "undown" link displayed instead of "unvote".
