Mobile-First Public Boards
•OpenIssue Team
Over half of web traffic comes from mobile devices. Your public board needs to work beautifully on every screen size.
Why Mobile Matters
Your users discover your board in various contexts:
- •Clicking links from social media (mostly mobile)
- •Scanning QR codes from physical materials
- •Checking status updates on the go
- •Submitting quick feedback when they encounter issues
A clunky mobile experience means lost feedback and frustrated users.

Performance on Mobile Networks
Mobile users often have slower connections:
- •Fast initial page loads
