The 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.
