Editor on big screens. Show all the examples and drawing area #67

Problem

Currently (2024 june 12), the user have to switch between the overview page and the editor page. This is in order to support tiny screens. However on big screens, it's annoying.

Thanks to mkl on hackernews for suggesting this.

Solution

Proposals for what this large screen UI may look like is welcome.

Detect screen size. If it's a tiny phone, then switch between overview/editor mode. How big a screen is sufficient for fitting in everything without getting too crammed?

Detect screen type. If it's a touch screen, then the pixels have to be quite large.

you should let the user continue to view the task examples and the initial board state while they are coloring in their solution.

being able to view the task context IMHO should be the priority. people with smaller screens should be able to zoom their screen on their device if they need to.
