>Phones go into tunnels, run out of battery, and go indoors where there's a poor signal or none at all.
i.e. when you can't take a call or a text or read a social media notification. Why does this need to be always-available if those don't?
- andrewmunsell 3y agoBecause you can't predict when someone will try and hit your site?
- bmitc 3y agoWhile less ideal than hosting it on an "always available" service, is that really enough to prevent the ability to do so? Phones are many people's only computers. Why not let them be actual computers since they're powerful enough to be? A typical smartphone is miles ahead of a Raspberry Pi and people do all sorts of things with Raspberry Pis. What about hosting a portfolio or blog on your phone where you can share it with someone in real-time, like a job interview or some presentation or just to show it? Also, I wonder what the actual "downtime" of a smartphone is. I doubt it's that much worse than a lot of websites. The downtime of a smartphone is also usually completely independent of the phone itself, as it's usually service and/or location related.
