Mobile Application
Platform-aware navigation, reachable actions, safe-area handling, keyboard resilience, and explicit gesture alternatives.
Product guidesContextual
Intent
Design for touch, limited height, interruption, and platform conventions rather than compressing a desktop interface.
Checks
- Account for safe areas, software keyboard, and short landscape height.
- Keep primary controls reachable and targets appropriately sized.
- Provide explicit alternatives to drag and swipe outcomes.
Warnings
- Desktop hover, dense multicolumn layouts, and browser-style chrome rarely transfer directly.
Exceptions
- Tablet layouts may introduce secondary columns when content and input mode support them.
