Theme support or responsive design? #110

I would like to create a mobile theme for relay.js but I'm struggling to decide if it may be better to only have one responsive theme. This would save some time when it comes to changes.

What do you think about this topic?

At the moment I plan on making the default theme responsive. I'm not completely sure if custom themes will be implemented, but nothing's stopping intrepid devs from adding their own CSS in a custom branch. The responsive theme isn't a high priority, though, as mobile browsers have a couple limitations that make this client a poor choice for use with phones, namely that if you switch to another app, or your phone's screen turns off, the browser tab goes idle and your connections are dropped.
