If an administrator is doing things at all correctly, the full admin dashboard’s compatibility with mobile browsers (which has also improved , I’m pretty sure,) should provide more than adequate mobile administrative capability, yet Automatic clearly made a deliberate commitment to backing their own app instead. The only use case worth any justification in this regard almost certainly has to be use on iPad. I am personally far too alienated from tablet use to provide any insight, here, but I’d imagine my argument still stands. Plugin management on mobile makes sense to a certain extent - the ability to deactivate an errant extension or activate an Under Construction plugin on the fly, for instance - but it definitely ends before the plugin discovery interface, which is the sole half-assed area in the app, almost as if a developer realized its futility midway through the design process. Before you start downloading shit willy nilly to your website on your phone, just go home dude. This narrative of the handset-dwelling publisher is an interesting one, at least. My criticism is mostly rooted in the fact that I do not know anyone who’d choose an iPhone application as their primary development/publishing environment, but then again, I don’t actually know anyone at all, so I’d be genuinely curious to hear about experiences with/opinions on WordPress in any fashion from you or someone you know. Give me a fuckin ring, eh?
