Introduction#
I just discovered an amazing (free) WordPress theme for iPad (maybe it works for other tablets too, but at the moment I have no way to test with anything other than iPad. I know, it’s not so useful to use a specific theme for a tablet, because the normal site, if it is well formatted, it displays perfectly on a tablet screen; but in this way your blog/website is shown as a “native tablet application”: reading articles on your blog feels like reading an ebook :)
The Onswipe Plugin#
Anyway, if you want to test it out, the plugin I found is called Onswipe. You can see it in action by browsing my blog on a tablet (let me know if it works on Android too :P). You can see the result in the photo below.
Concerns#
One concern I have is that with three separate themes (iPad theme, mobile theme, normal theme) it’s impossible to control how your articles will be shown to the users… I checked some articles I wrote and they seem fine on all devices, but I mostly have simple text articles with some “code” information (they display best on the normal website).
Is it a good choice to have separated themes?
