Improve UI for ponymail #393

Open planetf1 opened 7 years ago

planetf1 commented 7 years ago

Ponymail current doesn't render particularly well on a mobile device such as an iPhone 7+.

I'll include some screenshots.

It's an invaluable tool, I'd like to propose a feature to work on a more mobile friendly/adaptive interface - clearly this is non-trivial work

This would indeed be a very welcome addition to the codebase. Some thoughts: I am currently (albeit a bit behind) working on a rewrite of the UI which abstracts much of the interface into rendering classes. It would be possible to detect mobile phones and use a different rendering for them, which could in turn use different styles. OR, this could be done with some very tricky CSS, but I think the JavaScript approach makes sense, as we could deliberately drop certain aspects of the UI on phones to leave more space for what matters there.

Mobile phone plans may also have limited data - see also #186
