Hi, So.. does anybody want to rewrite the SageMath website to be mobile friendly? Not only did David just complain about this, but some googlebot sends me a message periodically complaining.
If I were to rewrite the SageMath website myself right now, I would do it using React.js + react-bootstrap, which provides for excellent modularity and is a clean abstraction, and I would render it completely statically (using node.js) on a server, then make the html directly available (as we do now via github pages). The web browser never sees any react javascript directly -- it's just server side. Using bootstrap makes it possible to use a responsive layout, so it's mobile friendly when viewed on mobile devices. Such a rewrite would be a major job, but well worth it (probably at least one month of fulltime work). -- William On Sun, Sep 13, 2015 at 6:22 AM, Dr. David Kirkby (Kirkby Microwave Ltd) <drkir...@kirkbymicrowave.co.uk> wrote: > I recently updated a web site for my local amateur radio club, to make it > "mobile friendly", as defined by Google.
