How would we even do this? Let them scroll back and forth on the table like Wikipedia does?

I've never really understood how to make wide tables "responsive".

.mobile-style some-unneeded-td { display: none; }

This would be for hiding some unneeded tds.

Of course, you need js/mobile-style.js to be enabled. And it sticks the boards panel to the top, so if you mind, you can modify the stylesheets for that to work.

This is our current approach to being responsive. Not a perfect one, but working.

@ctrlcctrlv some columns could be resized so that we use the space more effectively, this is what we currently have: boards.html screenshot

Also, we could make the entire <tr> a link, instead of just the board name. Mobile users have fat greasy fingers that don't aim well.

It doesn't look like that on mobile devices at the moment. If you use a phone or chrom*'s build-in mobile emulator it looks like the boardlist doesn't shrink past a certain size, and all fields are viewable (though on tiny resolutions the overscan requires scrolling).

Since the site has very little work done in being mobile-friendly I think it's safe to close this.
