To all those complaining about "mobile hostile": the site has horizontal scroll on desktop too. Probably just a miscalculation somewhere on the author's side.
Also, however way you spin it, mobile is a hostile environment compared to desktop. It's inconvenient to have to deal with tiny screen and defective keyboard. So, any usability defect that also exists on the desktop risks overflowing the cup of patience.
- corbezzoli 3y agoNo. If you drop all the style and stop manually wrapping text via \n, the website would work fine on mobile. The problem is that OP probably doesn’t know the basics of HTML so they’re shoehorning whatever they know onto a webpage. It’s very common to find amateurish websites that work correctly only if you delete code they added.
- cgriswald 3y agoTo be clear, on desktop the horizontal scroll exists but the site is perfectly readable regardless. On mobile you have to utilize the horizontal scroll to see the content.
- crabbone 3y agoWell, I don't browse Web on my phone because it's always a frustrating experience. But, you sort of confirm what I wrote: mobile display, interactions, navigation are a lot worse in general, so any small detail that goes wrong has larger impact in the already painful environment.
