Feature detection #58

Adds a page for feature detection of mobile phones

kirlat commented 5 years ago

@balmas: The other change is an addition of a devdetect.html file which contains code for device feature detection. Just wanted to keep it as a separate file because I think it can be very useful for testing device capabilities.

For example, if client has troubles with our UI on a certain device, we could ask him/her to pass the test on a page and post the results. This might provide us some clue about what's going wrong.

We could make this page available online on an Alpheios server and add more tests to it in the future. We could probably develop it into some kind of troubleshooting page where a client can do certain actions on his/her device, the page will record device characteristics along with the results of those actions, and then we can assess this data. Most likely it would be some device features that prevent Alpheios from functioning correctly, so if we record them, we could know what it was. This might help in fixing the issue tremendously. What do you think?
