Vendor fullscreen on mobile devices
- Why: On mobile devices, having a way to full full screen takes better advantage of the limited real-estate
- Size: M
- Priority: Med (Improvement to usability)
- Partial implementation:
- https://github.com/internetarchive/bookreader/pull/855
We’ve tried to implement this in the past, but the devil is in the details.
First: Add analytics to EnterFullscreen button to see if we have made people more/less likely to use the button.
Possible implementations:
- On small-screened devices, pressing full screen button goes to vendor full screen
- Con: inconsistent; users might be unsure why it went full screen on their device
- Con: Open Library users are sent to the book in theatre mode. They can’t get vendor full screen without minimizing + maximizing, since enter full screen button is an exit full screen button in this mode
- Perhaps if the page starts in theatre mode, have the enter fs button still be displayed
