[meta] New mobile display

By Jeff Kaufman @ 2016-12-05T15:21 (+5)

If you haven't recently tried the EA forum on a mobile device, I'd encourage you to test it out. An updated mobile-specific view rolled out yesterday, and if it's causing any display issues for people I can figure out how to fix it.

(The new mobile view is not a full rewrite, it's just some css tweaks to make things tolerable on mobile. So there are probably things that will still be awkwardly small. If there's something that's bothering you, let me know and I can have a look.)

The post titles are strangely small when viewed from the main page.

I can no longer zoom text which means text is unpleasantly large on tablets

Proposed the fix: https://github.com/tricycle/eaforum/pull/66

It's a tablet-only change turning current into proposed

Hey! Thanks for this! The thing that is bothering me is that I can't see the whole sidebar, especially recent comments. No worries if it's not fixable.

I removed the sidebar because I couldn't figure out how to make it work well, but then when doing the same thing with lesswrong I figured out a way to put the sidebar at the bottom and have it look okish: http://www.jefftk.com/lw-testing/discussion-new-bottom.png

So maybe we should do that here too?

I like this idea.

I think it's good to remove the sidebar for readability, but I'd love to have a link to a recent comments page at the top somewhere.

Thanks for doing this Jeff. I think this is (or should have been) a reasonably high priority update for a while now, so thanks for pitching in!
