More phone feedback -- smaller **layout issues**.  For a screenshot see [this answer](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/282148#answer-282148) ('cause wow is that huge and I don't want to do that on a second answer).

- I'm glad to see that the "filter results" button is visible and not just lost to "that column goes to the bottom in a responsive design".  (No one will see it there.)  Its placement isn't quite working with the category list, though, and this is on a community that only has three -- so while *here* you could nudge it rightward and be ok, on a community with more, or with categories with longer names, that won't work.  If "Ask Question" became "Ask" (or a generic "Post"), would there be room for a "Filter" button next to it?  (Might need to make the text a little smaller, but for single-word UI controls with good contrast that seems ok.)

- I agree with another answer that the header layout seems a little off on a phone.  I know we're trying to leave room for a banner graphic, but the parts of that banner that would be visible on desktop are covered on a small screen and vice-versa, so that's already challenging.  To save space I'd drop out the reputation number -- show logo on the left and, from the right, hamburger, avatar, inbox, and the banner gets whatever's left between them (not much but the same relative positions as on desktop).  Reducing the header height by half would be significant on a phone.

- I guess it's just because it's more proximate on a phone than on a desktop, but the "Ask Question" button seems to be too high compared to "Posts", "Tags", and "Edits".  I realize the bottom of the button background is horizontally aligned with the bottom of those words, but the text being higher than that (because it's in a button) is distracting me.
