Ask HN: Can we set apart upvote and downvote buttons?

18 points by anton_tarasenko ↗ HN
A small request/suggestion/discussion: Upvote and downvote buttons are so close to each other that you can't know which one you've pressed (especially on mobile).

Can we have them separated a bit or have the "unvote" button (appears after voting) renamed to "cancel {upvote, downvote}" or similar?

I mash the wrong one probably 25% of the time. And then I just feel awful.

The cancel button is already "unvote" vs "undown".

Not that we mightn't want to improve the UI.
