Popup UX on mobile

[Luke Shepard]

I think most popup interfaces will probably work fine on mobile, but since mobile has different properties from web popups, I think it still makes sense to allow RPs to specify a different mode for mobile. Some of the differences:

 - the provider cannot resize the popup, as it can on a browser.
 - the size may be different. for example, the iphone is 320 x 480. So if the standard popup width is the 450px that I think was agreed upon at the summit, then that would work sort of in a horizontal view. But the developer may find it more readable in a vertical view, and would want to serve different content as a result.

I think we should allow different window types, including "popup", "mobile", and possibly even various sizes of mobile screens. Then, the OP can at its discretion choose to offer the same interface for mobile as it does for popup.

Hi everyone,

How does everyone feel about the PuffyPoodles UX on mobile devices? It seems to work nicely as-is on my iPhone. Do we just want mobile devices to use the popup UX? The only issue is that it might be more appropriate to do the full browser redirect to display the Popup UX, rather than opening a new browser window to display the popup.

I should have Draft 0 of the Popup Extension Spec ready for review this afternoon.

btw - clicking "Allow puffypoodles.com <http://puffypoodles.com> to remember me" doesn't seem to do anything. I see the popup on subsequent logins, even when I checked the checkbox the previous time around.





This is a known issue with our hybrid protocol OP implementation that has nothing to do with this demo. Currently only plaxo.com <http://plaxo.com>  uses hybrid and only for onboarding, so that is a non-issue for them (the second visit by their users has the 'remember me' selected and it does stick then).









Also, I recommend that if you implement a "remember me" feature, you should tell the user how to cancel it later, if the user changes their mind.

Try unselecting the 'stay on this page' setting and let me know if the issue goes away.

No, you are not seeing the continue action, it is just that the same page is loading.


Nope, it does show my email address. I do suspect its a weird caching issue, but I haven't really poked at it yet.

If you pay attention, it doesn't show your email or contacts.
