I would like to raise the functionality on small screens. Mine is a Moto G6 Play smart phone. Page sizing is failing - pages are oversized. Solar Divert is oversized with oddly sized total boxes. Graphs opens with error (also on PC). Graphs usability on small screen is bad - the feeds in view area is not scrollable and data entry ( for scale etc) does not work (got worse with previous release). I attach screenshots. Some will be down to browser behaviour others page design.
I recognise emoncms does not have a particular focus on responsive pages that resize well, but it would be good to move to a better experience for smaller screens as changes. My observation is that usability is getting worse on small screens.
Many of the page design issues can be experienced by resizing a browser window on a PC.
To balance - I have and do continue to appreciate all the work that goes into emoncms.org. my thanks to the team!!
@iov I’ve made a couple of modifications to the My Solar PV Divert app, to reduce the size of the total boxes and improve the alignment, here’s a screenshot with some dummy data, let me know if that works better for you, the changes are live on emoncms.org:
Thanks @TrystanLea - looks better now The time intervals seem to push the screen to be wider - I think if I recall correctly, they used to wrap around on to the next line before? I fully appreciate the complications of trying to cater for every size of screen - on my piddly iPhone SE, this is what I now see by default, if I scroll down the value boxes now fit quite nicely apart from the black strip on the right due to the interval not wrapping.
Forgot to also add before, I though the 8 hour interval was always quite useful - guess it’s down to personal preference but 1, 4, 8 D, W, M, Y seem right for me. Straw poll?
@TrystanLea - good plan and makes sense as it’s probably not necessary for each interval to take up valuable screen real estate for a function that’s used intermittently (for me at least) - one extra touch I guess!
As @borpin mentions, a ‘today’ interval would be quite useful - I always assumed this was too tricky to implement but I guess a 00.00 - current time is feasible if it’s used elsewhere (sorry for all the niggly requests!)
