I can't tell if this is sarcasm...is it?
- duncan-donuts 7y agoProbably not... there’s plenty of things that don’t really need to be mobile first.
- kome 7y agoi can answer for myself: it's really not sarcasm. In my personal experience, Phones suck at everything, really. Phones are just for consumers and commuters, workers need desktops.
- zbentley 7y agoI hope not. I see far too many business applications that waste I can't imagine how many person-hours on terrible mobile apps/sites. In some segments, the people who want to use your app on mobile just aren't the people that your business can add value to (not because of their choice of device, but because of what their choice of device indicates about how they plan to use and value your product). Don't spend your time ticking boxes of competitors' features. Specialize.
- icelancer 7y agoIt isn't. We don't code on an iPhone or tiny screen. Heavy lifting is done on a full sized screen. Make applications that actually work on them first and foremost.
- IggleSniggle 7y agoI hope not! Funny thing. When I find myself needing to use JIRA or GitLab or whatever on the go and mobile is my only option, I end up requesting the desktop version on my phone anyway...because the mobile app doesn't do what I need it to do, or if it does it hides the functionality so I never find it. My experience is that for productivity software that lives in a browser, there's absolutely no point in a mobile version. Just serve up the desktop version and make sure the user can zoom in on the portion they need to interact with, and perform all actions necessary with clicks.
