I don't know the motive for the site design, but I wonder if perhaps it wasn't coded for mobile because the app is not compatible with mobile devices but rather only Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Even if you’re making a CLI application the website still needs to work on mobile. Responsive design is the only web interface design that is relevant.

Came here to say the same, glad I'm not the only one.

The website is unusable on mobile so I can't even check out if the app is any good. I guess I know enough already.

FWIW I looked the github page instead which renders nicely

Thanks, turns out it looks pretty cool and I'll actually try it, from the experience with the website I was ready to forget about it and move on.

You couldn't just tick the "Request desktop site" box available in every browser? But yeah I guess you know enough already, the dev should apologize because the website of their free product is not mobile friendly.

I'm also a developer, and if you're not mobile-first let alone mobile friendly, you're doing it wrong in 2019. Why do I want to pan and scroll around a tiny site rendered in desktop mode on my mobile for your brand new product?

It's either lazy or ignorant and neither gives me confidence in their software.

It's a free product.

Doesn’t make any difference, it looks the same.

This comment makes no sense.

I don't plan to fly to Japan on my phone but I still want flight booking sites to work on it.

Reading about an activity and doing the activity are two different things yeah?

Not op, but there are markdown editors for phones now.

And the website? Can’t even tell which OS the app is selling for.

Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Not so clear on a mobile device: https://i.imgur.com/LD5yMab.jpg

Not affiliated with the OP, just surprised how a sub-thread about a broken mobile experience could possibly be unclear. ;)
