Better mobile support of Ghost editor

Ideas
1

Hello!

I just want to ask: is that planned to implement a full mobile support of post editing?

Everyone knows, that post editor in the Ghost is not working completely in mobile phone (there is a warning).
That’s why I usually did a trick: I create a few markdown blocks, then I edit my post from mobile phone in any time at any place.

Last time Ghost team announced a lot of improvements to Koenig editor, so I decided to write my new blog post completely without markdown block.

Now I will “pay” for that, because outside of markdown the process of editing from mobile doesn’t allow me to change formatting of blocks and change text parts, and also blocks are being corrupted sometimes after my tries to edit.

Do you have plans to improve mobile support?

Thank you!

Regards!

Hey @Alexandr_Fadeev :wave: We are fully aware of mobile experience inconveniences but mobile support is not currently a core-team focus.

We have some of the mobile issues tracked and are very open for contributions :)

Has this position changed in the last 3 years?

I’ve just installed an instance of Ghost for a friend who wants to do podcasts, but if she can’t upload the audio directly into posts using the mobile editor then Ghost will be totally useless for her and I’ll have to scrap the Ghost site I’ve created and go back to good old WordPress.

Have to admit, in the world of mobile-first everything I’m genuinely shocked to discover the mobile editor is so unloved :(

Hey,

is there an update on the stance that ghost does not support mobile?

I would love to use Ghost on my Android device for writing posts. That does not work right now.

For me it works perfectly. I can write, link, bold and all the other things I need to do in the editor. And is insanely fast compared to Wordpress.

@block what os are you using?

I can use it for one paragraph and then the mobile
editor goes crazy.

When I got enter I don’t land on the next line, cursor just stays there. I can sometimes manually get to the new line.

At some point I can not delete any character anymore.

Embedded links break in an of way.

I am on android with chrome and it’s just broken.

I use Brave on iOS… I think it’s because of Android.

There are zero issues displayed at that link. Which I guess just goes to show how long this has been an issue? :man_shrugging:

Try again! :slightly_smiling_face:

I just tried on Android 12 with both Firefox and a Chrome based browser (I don’t have actual Chrome because I’m running the Degoogled /e/OS) and it now seems to work brilliantly!

I was very easily able to write text, upload images, upload audio, upload video, the works!

A long time coming, but it would appear the team Ghost have done stellar work :clap:

Thank you to all concerned! :pray: :palms_up_together:
