now waiting for the biggest upgrade. Mobile friendly SF (aka a mobile version of the site)

A mobile app would be better

Making this site more mobile friendly can be a nice quality of life but it might take a while before that happens.

A recommended page filled with very popular guides, Brans overarching guides, and the how to make a guide/templates. That would help for newer members.

Yeah making an app for Fire sites in general might be time-consuming (at least from the few months of programming I've had so far lol) and a bit expensive. I dunno, maybe one day!

Honestly kriega idk how old you are or what you do in normal life. However, I feel taht you're not really up to date in todays world mobile friendly sites importancy.

Mobile web usage is pretty big. A quick search on google said that mobile usage surpassed desktops in 2016.

Add in the thing google is planning or already started using mobile first indexing

If i may believe my little brother that studies coding. Every time they need to do a website thing it needs to be both desktop and mobile friendly.

A quick search of Google will probably give you even more reasons why. However im to lazy to go for full researches in the weekend




An app could be an option, however I think that would be a step further. Making a mobile version (/responsive web design) is the first. Mostly one that makes navigating easier, since SF uses a lot of hover which is an anti mobile user thing. Don't believe me? Try to go from the home page to the god skill page using your mobile.

Also yes I know it gets asked a lot and is not a 1-2-3 thing, however it should probably become a high priority

A lot of people are trying to find these guides while they're playing. So many will be looking on their phones.

From what I remember from my Web Design class, despite failing it, it's a few simple lines of code in a CSS style sheet, or HTML if a style sheet isn't used, for when the page gets shrunken vertically by a certain percentage. I forgot how to do it but I know it works.

The problem Stuke is that the site needs a remodel when it comes to accessing the tabs "God Guides", "SMITE Database", "Media" and "Forums & Blogs" when it comes to accessibility on a phone. But yeah just simply focusing on reworking those aspects would be a faster way to approach such issue

Could ve you right stuke however like prism said the biggest problem is the tabs, with hover for mobile rn.

Honestly just taking small steps like those would already make a big difference even if it would go slowly.

(Another change the autoplay sound useing ads. I don't mind them playing however would it be possible for them to be mute, so they don't stop your music on phone or disrupt it on desktop?)

I have used Smitefire on mobile a lot, it's not perfect, it's definitely annoying to make builds on it, but it's good enough to view builds on it decently.

There are honestly more important features that need to be added first in my opinion.
