A couple weeks ago, I mentioned that I expected mobile support to be a huge amount of work, and, for that reason, I was going to put it off. After a short experiment though, I came to realize it was not nearly as bad as I expected, so I decided to go ahead and make the Poster Maker<\/a> support mobile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though I’ve done my best to ensure the app works on modern desktops and mobile browsers, mobile in particular can be a bit quirky. For example, iOS doesn’t seem to have a way to download PDF client-side, while Android has no ability in Chrome to display PDFs. I removed the Save as PDF<\/em> button on mobile in favor of a button that will attempt to do what is supported on your device. Even so, some quirks remain. On iOS I was able to print perfectly, but on my old Android device, it seems to be impossible to print at 100% scale, so the printed poster is very slightly smaller than the specified size. Unfortunately, there’s really no way to work around problems like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to mobile support, I also fixed a few issues, the most notable of which was due to EXIF orientation data in the image not being respected, causing PDF images to have the wrong aspect ratio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next up, I’d like to update the Grade Calculator<\/a> to work on mobile. After that I might take a detour and update this “blog” to be, uh, an actual blog, with comments and categories. Finally, work will begin on the big Schedule Maker update, which I now plan to ship with mobile support.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
