What do you think of my WoW minipets site? It doesn't have a whole separate 'mobile version', rather just some mobile-specific (via media queries) CSS that make it work better on a small screen. I don't think there's even any mobile-specific JS, and it uses the full version of jQuery.

It depends on the site but do wonder why some even have an entirely separate mobile version – if they didn't weigh their pages down with so much crap it wouldn't be necessary in may cases.

edit: I've only tried it on my iphone so there might be some issues in the various Android browsers, although since they're WebKit-based, hopefully not.

But you're so easily annoyed. There's pills you can take, though I prefer the 7% solution.

Seriously though, that screen shot is about as offensive as a bingo card. It's shit "In every single way" ? Really? Who cares?

My first take on designing custom websites for smart phones is that the screen real estate is so constrained by a) small pixel dimensions and b) touch-screen that there's not much room to do cool stuff.

Most of the jqm featured gallery sites have far better desktop browser pages than mobile. Apart from that though, the functionality is pretty well thought out.

Not many take the one-size-fits-all-least-common-denominator approach as suggested here.

Too much scrolling.

Maybe default to showing no names until a search is entered?

Do NOT get me started on bingo cards! :@ :@ :@

Hrm, that's an interesting idea actually. Maybe I could then have a 'browse all' button or something - as it stands it's still worth loading all the data at once since it's less than 100K, and only about 20K gzipped.

Unlike Xen, I still don't get it. That's a pretty crap design, admittedly, but what has that got to do with JQM's functionality? Are you damning a functionality aid simply because it's used by people with terrible design skills? In that case, you might as well shoot Damian Hirst's paint supplier. Perhaps not such a bad idea.

I think I'm more damning a wing supplier for using feathers and wax.

You're way too late - I drank yours ages ago. :C

Greedy fucking asshole :((

<drinks the humidity out of the air>

It only would have gone cold. :(

I remember cold :((

Cold is nice :((

Yeah. :(

Supposed to be raining and cooling down now, but it doesn't appear to be doing so.

I have realised that making houses of bricks is a stupid idea. They heat up during the day and release that heat during the night. I want a wooden house. And aircon.

Move to Australia, then. They love building stuff like that over there. Even though half the town disappears every time there's a storm.

Do you need to ask? It's BeeP. Code is meticulous and unforgiving.

Your reply doesn't make any sense, particularly in regard to the fact that you're earlier 'justification' was based on aesthetics, not functionality. Are you saying that JQM is funtionally inferior, or that you don't like it because you just don't like it?

Not to mention the keyboard ... don't forget the perilous sides of the left shift key.

He hasn't used it, but doesn't like what (some) others have used it for, giving a rather dull but otherwise innocuous example of what he "hates" (misapplied iPhone chrome). Apparently. I guess.
