Feature Request: Support for mobile browsers

Context Roam is a very powerful online tool. Roam-toolkit makes it far more more powerful with spaced repetition and its other features. It could be an extremely mobile application as browser software is not very demanding on the computer.

Proposal Port over Roam-toolkit extension to a mobile browser like firefox for android so it can be used with tablets. and other portable devices.

I think FF mobile should just work, but I don't have a meaningful way to test it. Help in doing that would be appreciated

Roam toolkit is not available on on firefox's mobile add-on marketplace. I am not code-savy enough to install the the desktop extension onto a mobile app to test compatibility.

Jaydon-chai avatar May 19 '20 02:05 Jaydon-chai

I'll mark it as mobile compatible next time I publish things.

Stvad avatar May 19 '20 02:05 Stvad

Awesome, that would be incredible.

Jaydon-chai avatar May 19 '20 02:05 Jaydon-chai

ah actually it seems I can be able to change existing version. can you try again?

Stvad avatar May 19 '20 02:05 Stvad

ok, was able to install it on FF mobile, but as mentioned can't meaningfully test it without KB. Let me know how it works when you try it!

Installed it on my device with no issue either however keyboard input of "ctrl+shift+1" doesn't seem to be registered by the add-on. I'm going to have a go adjusting the keybind to see if it fixes it.

Jaydon-chai avatar May 19 '20 05:05 Jaydon-chai

I don't think the extension recognizes the key inputs unfortunately. Probably a compatibility issue. I'll keep testing it with alternative inputs cause there could be a key-bind conflict but I'm not sure.

I see :(

I haven't go it to work; so I think I'll stick with a laptop for note taking. Perhaps this could be a future feature. Anyhow, I'm still super thankful for your toolkit though. Spaced repetition is a major breakthrough with roam.

Do you mind allowing installs of roam toolkit FF mobile? I would like to test it with firefox mobile especially with samsung dex, hopefully it works with it? Thanks

Jaydon-chai avatar Aug 25 '20 00:08 Jaydon-chai

uh, it's still enabled since we last talked about it..

I've figured out. The latest version of Firefox drops support for all non verified addons. What version are you running? So I can run that one to. Thanks for your help.

Jaydon-chai avatar Aug 25 '20 06:08 Jaydon-chai

68.11.0

Stvad avatar Aug 25 '20 16:08 Stvad

it works on samsung dex mode.That's amazing. I'm glad it works, was very sad that I had to attach a number to the end on my tablet and then input it with firefox on desktop.
