Frangles mobile isn't a "lite" or watered down version of Frangles reading material, nor is it only for cell phones, iPhonePodPads, and netbooks. It's the meat and potatoes of Frangles as it's currently developed; that is, as a nonlinear humorous reading saga probably most easily described as akin to the "Choose Your Own Adventure" children's reading series (read nonlinearly by occasionally flipping forward or back in the book in order to follow differing story paths). The primary reason Frangles began as a standard mainstream .com site was that in order for a large, complex nonlinear saga to be read nonlinearly, it
requires a medium that allows the reader to switch between its warehouse of pages, and the easiest way to do that for us was html, which would have been the call even if it wasn't the main thing for online web surfing and development. (Although actually finding people to read this !@#$ was also up there on our priority list.) Hence, what you're reading now is the basic product, minus added graphics and the like which just look pretty.
Of course, our long term goals are to highly utilize the computing and graphical power of modern machines and programming languages, but we don't have the collective time or skill at the mot to do all that. Hence, you shouldn't treat what we're about to go over as a supplement method of reading Frangles when you happen to be on the go, but rather as some of the basic, founding technical how-tos.
Whatever you are reading (or writing) Frangles on, this is the primary and first- line way to do so. It's simple, standard, universal (geek translation: low-level, standardized, O/S independent) and easy to learn and remember or relay to a friend ("object oriented and platform portable"). Short of having to purchase 7 books and tear out the 3rd page of each just to own the short story you want to read, Frangles as a nonlinear entity can't be organized or read via printed material. Hence, unlike printed books adapted for electronic readers, and real world businesses and organizations that gravitate toward general online marketing, nonlinear fiction by nature is a digital, mobile project. Arranging it for print or for complex web applications is the thing that takes adaptation (even though the non-mobile site came first).
If you've used or own a mobile devices, which chances are you have if you're reading this, you know that they come in a staggering variety of shapes and sizes and with a spectrum of different internet connections with different speeds, depending on your device, plan, signal, coverage area, browser, and so on. (Do I sound like a For Dummies book yet?) Fortunately, prose is just strings of characters, which is incredibly basic if you leave out all the extra pretty stuff. With prose, it's not necessary. I've spent nights tossing and turning over what precise width table and sized font will be the dead average of all possible devices that might read Frangles (in fact the best reading fonts have been tricky too; I work a lot with Squish on colors and formatting because he has certain eye syndromes and can find it difficult to read in anything but the best cases; ironically, this is good for everyone else, I suppose, because he's an excellent guinea pig for us to learn from and hence know as much as we can about making reading easiest for all you readers (more on that later).
Anyway, we've finally come to the decision to just put plain, unformatted text on each page. For something as simple as reading material, this is bafflingly practical and versatile. You can resize your window and adjust the text size (assuming you have a text enlarge or shrink button on your browser, which almost all have), and that's that.
