Mobile Optimizations Coming For Phoronix

[chrisb]

The new stylesheet (from today/yesterday?) seems to make things worse when viewing phoronix on chrome in Android 5.1 (Nexus 4, so not a tablet).

On the main page, there are no more line breaks in the text snippets for news articles, so lots of horizontal scrolling / panning. That's a regression, it used to work better just a few days ago.

Or maybe I just need to force-reload, clear cache, something like that?

This is still a problem. You can reproduce it by running Chrome, load phoronix.com then ctrl-shift-i to open the developer tools, then click on the "device" icon to the left of "Elements" (Elements Network Sources Timeline etc.) then select Nexus 4.

Looks like:

div#phxcms_container

min-width: 1210px
overflow: hidden

Should be replaced with:

min-width: 480px
overflow: visible

Is it working better now?

Is it working better now?

Yes but now the toplogo only fills 2/3 of the width. Perhaps

div#phxcms_toplogo 
width: 700px

Does this one looks good for you? http://csnv.es/phoronix/

It does on my devices
Responsive web design.
But that template suffers from the modern lack of contrasts in the colors that makes it hard to read especially on some screens.

Yes that looks fine

Somehow I missed this one when posted before or didn't look quite closely, but actually rather like it a lot when looking at it today and seems to display okay when trying on a mobile device. Are you a web designer by trade? May be interested in hiring you to tweak out that design. You could email me at michael at phoronix.

Yes, the header backgrounds are too light. Suggest something like #headerwrap #111, #menuwrap #006050, article #222 etc.

I'd like to report that when your site is displaying "Microsoft Cloud - This cloud helps accelerate a cure for cancer" it tries to download a file to my WP 8.1 device. It's probably .apk because it tells me it's unsupported format. It's quite annyoing though.

It's a .js that IE tries to download (I use IE when I'm at work).

I agree! Although the current phoronix layout appears to work on mobile and desktop chrome (i.e. line breaks fixed), that template looks pretty cool ? simple and clean look, not cluttered, etc. I thought it was mobile-only when I opened it on my mobile, but it looks quite nice on desktops, too.

May be interested in hiring you to tweak out that design. You could email me at michael at phoronix.

I hope this works out, and is not too expensive. The layout might need a few more ads.
