Is it something custom, or just a normal Mobify site? I was playing with Mobify but couldn’t figure out how to do the posts of my blog (it only did one post, and I didn’t want to do them all manually).

It seems that with Mobify, you have to choose what content displays on the mobile site. What happens when a new post is published? Do you have to choose the content again? Or will it automatically pick it up somehow? Is there an easier way to choose what to make mobile (eg. CSS classes?)

Looks really great! Gotta try it out on my iPhone sometime, so I could show my friends some of the great interviews and inspirational designs you show on this site.

Right now, the desktop version actually works just fine, and my sixrev-powered commute continues. :) Looking forward to future mobile updates!

@Andy: Primarily, for load-balancing. We need mobile users to have super-fast response times and if the articles are served off the main site servers, it could be a slower experience. That also does help the main site server by redistributing the serving of files. I only know this because I browse Six Revisions through my iPhone when I’m away from my computer. I want to accommodate mobile users as best as I possibly can but without taking away from the experience of computer users.

Is there any reason why you’re not using a mobile stylesheet instead?

@Bogdan we can feel your frustration, probably caused by dozens of limited, crappy mobile sites you’ve been to. This is not a mobile site but the actual one, optimized for a small screen. Would be curious to know what features you’re missing – would love to help Jacob port them down.

@Jacob you can definitely put the Full Site link anywhere in the site if users request it!

@adam16ster: Well yes, they’re great people and I like their attitude towards development. Simple, clean, and very useful.

@Bogdan Pop: I thought that it would help and not frustrate you. I do also browse the web through my iPhone, and when I do want to go the the full-site – I just navigate to the URL. I’ll see what I can do so that the full-site link is at least more prominent on the page so that you don’t have to navigate all the way down to the footer.
