Mobile Usability issue

[xalioth]

I got this email from google search console:

"Search Console has identified that your site is affected by 4 new Mobile Usability related issues. This means that Mobile Usability may be negatively affected in Google Search results. We encourage you to review and consider fixing these issues.

Content wider than screen
Clickable elements too close together
Viewport not set
Text too small to read"

May be a good first step for web site renewing ?

Hi @xalioth. I've been reading through your source to learn how your site works.

The problem with the forced horizontal scroll on mobile ("Content wider than screen") starts with:

/* file: css/all.css */

/* problem */
#wrapper { width: 900px; }

/* better */
#wrapper { max-width: 900px; }

There are other hard coded widths that also create this problem.

However, just updating #wrapper to a max-width doesn't solve the issue, because the layout and design of other components rely on the current wrapper styles, and more problems arise when wrapper is changed. So there is a lot of work to be done.

The solutions to the other 3 errors mentioned by google feedback are very simple.

I'm willing to work on updating the stellarium.org site. I'd like to find out from the maintainers how much room there is for change to the current front end state. For example:

• what browser support do you require (ie, can we use flexbox to fix header issues, or does your team want to support ie 9?)
• are you interested in a handful of small performance tweaks, such as swapping out background-images (like bg-body.jpg) for css gradients
• interested in using more modern looking font awesome icons in place of the stellarium software download links in the header (ie - the current windows logo is outdated, font awesome has the proper logo)

Hi Brian, Thanks, it's a good start! Can't we use a darker background so that it matches a bit more the style of the app? Fabien
