Re: Mobile Wikifang

More and more people today actually surf on mobile devices. They often don't have a high enough resolution to have Wikifang appear correctly. That's why I thought that maybe we could add a simple support for mobile devices.
Currently there are some problems when looking at Wikifang on mobile. For example font sizes are all over the place. And you have to tediously zoom in and scroll all around to read infos. With a mobile version, we'd have a much more simpler but friendlier version of Wikifang which should show everything readable and correctly on mobile. This could be useful if you quickly have to look up something on devices like mobile phones.
Right now as a test, it has been already installed but has to be manually switched to view it. The mobile version kinda works like the Wikipedia mobile site. To try it out, you just have to go on the bottom of the page and tap on "Mobile version". It's not perfect and there are issues that need fixing, but it gives an idea how it could work.
So the question is, would it be useful to have a mobile friendly version? If yes then we could collect some ideas what to add or change and work will initiate to fix some issues that mobile site has.
And if we add it, should it automatically turn to mobile view on phones? As a note, you'll still be able to switch to Desktop and vice versa.
