@gingerman What's wrong with mobile composer UX?

@exodo Redactor published today, plus updated autosize dependency (a couple weeks ago), so perhaps better on iOS now?

never used redactor on production cause it lacks many funcionts from composer.
This thread was about composer default. it works bad on ios not really big improvements

In mobile, if you write a longer post than the screen size, you can't move up or down to edit. For example, on my Samsung A3, you can't highlight text outwith what's viewable on screen, or even move your text input area to find text that's not there.

For short posts it's fine, for longer it's better to type on the memo or notes app then copy/paste it in.

That's using both default composer now on 1.0.2 and Redactor when we had it installed pre-1.x.x

@Danny-McWilliams Thanks for the report... we use this library, though I'm not sure if you can reproduce it on that textarea in that site.

I was hoping us upgrading to the latest version of that lib would help, but it seems like it's still not working as well with that phone you have.

@julian it's really only noticed when typing a long post or copying quotes from a newspaper article in, most posts are short so it's not a big issue.

@julian the CSS only version I worked on should fix most of these issues.

@PitaJ Cheers, this one?

Did you ever get that fix for redactor?

PitaJ

@julian I totally forgot about it and I don't have a NodeBB installation set up on my dev env but I'll see if I an do it this weekend.

Agree in android it more or less works fine with opera, but it doesnt work with the native browsers that i have tested.

@exodo Can you run the default composer with @Pitaj's fixes and see if it is better on iOS?

Build software better, together

GitHub is where people build software. More than 100 million people use GitHub to discover, fork, and contribute to over 420 million projects.

Doubt it will work though.
