iOS will jump up sharply from 0.4% in 2011 if the folks at Stack Overflow make the site usable with that system. From mobile Safari the site is crippled. You can type in an answer, but the formatting tools and preview panes don't work at all.
- imack 16y agoThe most common use case of Stack Overflow will be a programmer working away on code encountering a problem, googling for a fix, and finding it on stack overflow. I don't see how mobile would enhance that. While I appreciate there are a few hardcores who will want to answer questions on the go, I can't see that being a big priority.
- tednaleid 16y agoAs an anecdotal point of reference, I monitor a number of stackoverflow categories with RSS feeds. I commonly read and answer these feeds with Reeder on my iPad sitting in a comfy chair in my living room, not at my computer. I answer less questions than I normally would if the interface were better. (maybe this is fitting into the definition of "a few hardcores" for you though)
- jdludlow 16y agoThere are many questions that I don't answer, because I'm on my iPad, and it's way too much of a pain to bother. You're also focused on the users of SO specifically. There are Area 51 sites that would be more prone to having users on mobile devices.
