Would you trust anything done by someone who throws up a splash page, "Don't use your phone to look at my site..." in 2017? Really?



"2017" has nothing to do with it, nor does trust.

You are not entitled to "Mobile First" just because a conga line of over-memed industry bloggers repeatedly insist we are entitled to all the content on the internet through our mobile browsers.

You're waving your phone around like it's attached permanently to your hand, and the only way you can get online!

The site responds and tells you what's going on. There is no fault. Be patient, be cool, save the bookmark and check it our later.

Don't be the kid throwing a tantrum because the hand-me-down phone you got for Christmas doesn't run Pokemon Go.

Screen size is an inherent limitation of mobile, always will be. Video editing, photo-editing, anything requiring a complex interface on a single page, or anything the developer hasn't released yet for reasons which are their business.

Giving release priority to desktop (including laptop) for a technical development app is OKAY in 2017. Just breath, everything is okay. The site is trustworthy, the code is trustworthy.
