Mobile support for Squire has arrived! 📱
Hey there, world builders!
It’s been an exciting two weeks since we launched Squire, and we’ve been keeping a close eye on how you’re using our app. One thing became crystal clear from our analytics – the vast majority of you (82.9% to be exact) have been trying to access Squire from your mobile devices. For all of you who were previously trying to use the app in that state, we offer our most sincere apologies; it was not pretty. Although the signup and onboarding pages technically worked, once you got to the actual app, things pretty much exploded.
But those days are behind us now. We’ve worked tirelessly to make Squire the best possible app for our community. Today, we’re thrilled to announce that Squire is now fully mobile-supported! Whether you’re world-building during your commute, generating AI images while waiting in line for coffee, or getting AI inspiration for your next session during lunch break, Squire is now right there in your pocket.
We’ve made some thoughtful adjustments to how Squire operates on mobile devices to ensure a smoother user experience. When accessing your world-building content on your phone or tablet, you’ll notice that editing works a bit differently. Instead of jumping straight into editing mode when you tap a record, you’ll first need to explicitly enter edit mode. This intentional design choice prevents your device’s on-screen keyboard from popping up unexpectedly when you’re just trying to quickly reference your notes or lore. While we still recommend doing most of your heavy-duty world building on desktop for the most comfortable experience, we understand that inspiration can strike anywhere. That’s why we’ve optimized the mobile experience to give you the flexibility to choose how and where you want to work on your worlds.
For our tech-savvy community members, we’re using Tailwind CSS as our styling solution in Squire. Tailwind made it relatively straightforward to add mobile support and responsive design. Highly recommended.
We’re committed to making Squire the most accessible and user-friendly world-building tool out there, and this mobile support update is just one step in that direction. Keep the feedback coming – we’re always watching and listening to make Squire better for you.
Happy World Building!
