Flood: Mobile and small screen size support. Collapsing sidebar.

[rkkoszewski]

Summary

Flood is very hard to use on mobile devices in vertical mode. This is mainly due to the sidebar never collapsing. The popups seem to scale but again the left side of the text is static and too wide for small screen sizes.

Expected Behavior

UI to scale and adjust also for mobile screens. Sidebar to collapse and be optionally opened by pressing a button.

Current Behavior

Sidebar stays open pushing all the content to the side and squeezing it together so they cannot be used. Same goes for popups.

Possible Solution

Could be fixed with media queries in the CSS

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

Open flood in mobile device in vertical mode.

Comment

Is there any reason why this has not been implemented?
I can help implement this if this is a desired feature.

This feature is a must have. Nowadays, mobile is very used for everything. Flood is awesome but there is a lack in the development for mobile.

@rkkoszewski Hi, you can use Transdroid as an Android bittorrent client for rTorrent. https://www.transdroid.org/

525 may help you to configure it.

Yes Flood is not optimized for mobiles but this will be very hard to do. There is only 1 dev on this project and he can't spend more than a few hours or days per month. So this will probably never be done if someone doesn't push a PR. You're free to push one but don't expect this done else.

PS : I'm mean collapsing the sidebar is not all, the whole UI like param menu is not designed for mobiles.

@9zdot Flood is a GUI for rTorrent. Ok it is a Web-UI so it can be used by all kind of devices but it is more oriented for desktop and computers.

As I said before there are good mobile clients like Transdroid https://www.transdroid.org/ you can use on smartphones. It's connect directly to rTorrent RPC mountpoint.

@noraj Flood is one of the best GUI that I ever seen out there. Nice to use with a clean design . But there is space to evolve, and this is a good thing.
As a developer, working in a huge company, I know that is difficult to find time to make such nice work if it’s not what pay your bills.
I will try to help pushing something in the next weeks.

@9zdot you'll be very welcome.

+1 has there been any improvement on this??? Possibly an electron app could be linked/connected/interact to flood?????

I am thinking of putting flood on my server and this is the only thing holding me back.
