OK, it sounds like it's more complicated than I thought to expose those screen dimensions to the API. There are a good (and growing) number of designers like me who code and the gomobile tool is too barebones at the moment to be productive for testing UI across multiple screen size or horizontal v

In my experience, designers aren't writing code or demoing experiences in native code. If they were, it wouldn't be that dissimilar to what I already see, either resizing a window or choosing a specific window size in chrome dev tools. Put bluntly, designers just aren't affected here and I think

OK, so designers will want to quickly test their app at specific screen sizes. I think we just need to determine the best option because there doesn't seem to be a gomobile best practice. It sounds like we have the following options: 1. Run a script to resize the window ( http://www.labnol.org/sof

Thanks. I'm wondering how I can test my UI efficiently with gomobile. So, I will create a responsive design as you recommend, but I still want to test my app at explicit screen sizes to mimic the actual user experience, rather than approximate it. The use case is someone who wants to support iPho

I agree that good mobile UI should be responsive. I'm thinking this feature would be useful for testing your app on those wide range of mobile screen sizes. Right now, it's difficult to test apps made with gomobile because the viewport needs to be resized manually to see all the content. 1. Would
