Mobile layout editing in Softr

Something that may need some consideration for the future is that a good desktop layout doesn’t always translate to a good mobile layout.
Wix got around this issue with a built in mobile editor for layout and text sizing only.
Adding something along these lines would strengthen Softr as a product especially as mobile is so commonly used now

I agree Dan. For instance, when configuring the dimensions of pics, it’s convenient to set the dimensions for all three with a single setting (desktop, tablet, and mobile), however the trade-off currently is that only one, or maybe two of these three formats, are optimized for viewing while the other(s) are skewed or cropped in some way.

I totally agree. I am finding that there is a huge mismatch with what is Live on my site vs what you see on all screens, not just mobile.

very much agree. The title size is one big example where this is an issue.

Hey all,

Thank you for all the feedback, I will address this surely.

But currently you need to use the Device visibility to make the app look good.

100% agree!

Has there been any news on this matter ? Looking forward to it:) Frustrating to have good looking website that kinda look bad on phones. Lemme know if you guys have any tips to counter that “manually” !

Hi @Lowtit. You have to create additional blocks with the same content, but formatted appropriately for the device you intend to be rendered on the page, then set those blocks’ device settings to opposse each other. I know it’s redundent, but you’ll find it works on whatever device you’re using.

That’s a good idea @Ben ! Also, conditional formatting for page width is common in other platforms. Takes a bit more time, but gives you a better mobile result.
