Well we do need to pay attention to how it looks in mobile now. Since the change
there is definitely a statistically significant uptick in mobile usage, so all feedback
gelps.
I’m trying to pull some stats on “browser window size” to little avail so far, but I’d
be curious to see how many people read mobile sites with a horizontal orientation.
Based on my data collection spending ample time stuck on the subway, I usually
see people reading things with a vertical view and watching things with a horizontal
one.
So we’ll make a note of that view in case more people are reading with a horizontal
orientation than we believe but for now target other parts of the site, e.g. docs.
Thanks again for all of your feedback,
Jonathan
