I just realized that one huge issue on mobile browsers (android FF and chrome at least) is their desire to fade out the scroll bars.

in fact, you CAN scroll horizontally, but you have to get your swipe on exactly the right part of the page.

(For people trying to replicate this: hit the < button that makes the members/labels/activity menu open; then hit > to make it disappear while you are watching the bottom 20% of the browser window. The horizontal bar will briefly appear there, and if you drag that part of the screen, then it will scroll.)

a couple options:

ok: make the horizantal scroll bar visible at all times

better: propagate all swipe/drag events on a list outside of a card to the scrollbar

edit: introducing dependencies is not great, but there is a javascript library called iscroll that seems appropriate for this: https://github.com/cubiq/iscroll (in spite of the name, it claims to work on android too).

I would add here that the triple top bar (for example, chrome, then sandstorm, then wekan) makes the app barely usable in a small screen. One can remove sandstorm at the expense of self hosting wekan, but the browser bar is only removable by running as standalone web app.

On mobile Chrome, removing browser bar is not possible.

On mobile Firefox, browser bar etc can be removed with addon:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/fullscreen-mobile/

1) Install addon from Firefox Addons menu
2) On Firefox menu at bottom, click "Full screen"
3) When you want to get browser from Full screen, hold long finger on screen on Wekan empty area, and click "Exit Full Screen".

On my Android phone it looks like this using Sandstorm Wekan. On Standalone Wekan, there is no black bar on top.

Impossible to scroll horizontally anywhere (except catching top part of board). Might be related/duplicate [#882].

This is currently absolutely preventing to work with Wekan on mobile phones here (Android 7.1.1 with Chrome), because most time when we try to swipe/scoll we are moving the columns instead of scrolling - so the only thing it does is to break the arrangement of our wekan board.

Scrolling by swiping the grey area in the lower area doesn't do anything and can't be used to swipe/scroll.

We are using our wekan board without sandstorm.
(thanks for this great software though ❤️ !)

From @lichtamberg

I have following 3 issues on my phone (Samsung Galaxy Note 8 with latest Chrome):

1) its really hard to click on the row names (board titles), most of the time it doesn't work and no click/touch event happens (independent if I click on the title or the arrow on the right). It also doesn't work with the Galaxy S Pen, so it's not related about my fingers :)
2) Sometimes it starts the swap-rows feature, even if my click was just a "press" - not a drag and drop (maybe it's better to remove/deactivate the swap card-titles feature in general on phones?)
3) When I achieve to reach a cards page, when I press the back button - I don't go to the cards index page back, but to the general board selection page.

1) Click card
2) On right side of card name, click 3 lines "Hamburger" menu
3) Scroll down and click "Move Card" or "Copy Card"
4) (Scroll up if needed and) Select to what board and list you want to copy or move card

You can copy or move card to list on the same or another board.

Not responding or extremely slow react on tap for: opening card, closing card. Although, other action are good, e.g. toggle side panel (very fast) or adding new card (less fast, but acceptable).

Any progress on this one? On Android/Chrome, I have to tap on a card like a maniac, to eventually open it.

Currently mobile mode works mostly.

Missing are these:

[x] Move home button / avatar bar from bottom to top. So at top first is home button / avatar, then others.

[x] When clicing Move Card, go to correct page position. Currently it's at empty page position, and there is need to scroll page up to see Move Card options. It should work similarly like Copy Card, that is visible.

[x] Also check that other buttons go to visible page.

[ ] Create toggle/switch to top of page that toggles/switches between mobile and full screen mode. This is needed, because keeping full screen mode does not work in all mobile browsers. On All Boards page star would be at left side of "My Boards" text. On mobile mode at board view at left side of star (bookmark icon) would be desktop icon and on desktop mode board view at left side of star would be mobile icon. It would save mobile/desktop mode similar like hide system messages slider on card.

[ ] Try to get Swimlane mode working better on mobile mode.

Previously it was

when clicking card it starts dragging card right away

to move to other list empty area needs to be carefully clicked and use it to move

Now fix https://github.com/wekan/wekan/pull/2067 is merged, will be in Wekan v1.95

[x] when clicking card it starts to move whole wekan page, like in Trello

[x] when holding on top of card for a longer time, it starts to drag card.
