Dan, the sidebar makes this page unusable on mobile (Android).


You're not the first to say that, but I don't know why. The site's fine on my Android phone and tablet. The markup/CSS is so simple it's hard to imagine any browser having trouble with it.

I've already spent enough time abusing the display model Android tablets at my local big box stores to test Improvely without buying a bunch of devices. I think if I go back again to try to live-fix my blog theme, they might kick me out. ;)


So in Chrome for Android the problem comes only when you zoom in by double-tapping. Your site is quite readable without zooming so it's mostly fine, but it does definitely break.

For your pleasure, some screenshots:

For reference: Galazy S running Cyanogen10


It also breaks when zooming in ios, so if it's the same problem and you're on OS X you might be able to fix it in the simulator?


I don't own an Apple anything, unfortunately.


The problem is display:fixed. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4889601/css-position-fixe... has a good overview of why it happens.
