This page contains ideas related to use of a mobile device.

Goal

To make using Dreamwidth-based sites from a mobile device a delight.

Background

There are so many ways in which we can make DW /the/ place to share your work if you rely on a mobile device for part of your browsing that we needed somewhere to write them all down.

It's important that users of mobile devices don't feel like they're being shoehorned into something limited - instead, they should ideally have access to the entire site, in what is a more elegant and refined experience than panning around the site like crazy in a tiny viewport.

Biggest Needs

  • Way to reliably detect mobile devices and serve appopriate content (with an override parameter, as well.)

Other Needs

Something will probably go here later.
