@openfactbook Great work, thank you.

Feedback: the design is not very mobile/smart phone friendly. Lots of impossibly small text requiring a lot of zooming which then reduces context. Maybe detect if the user agent is for a mobile device and adjust the styles appropriately.

@VisualStuart Mobile is tricky! We tried our best to account for standard screen sizes.
What device are you on so we can debug! And what areas are causing problems? We'll get right on it!

@openfactbook Hi, I have question
This website hosted through an American hosting for them to have the "right" to shut it down?

[visualstuart@pdx.social]

@openfactbook Yes, mobile is hard. I worked in software for four decades, I get it. I'm using a Pixel 10 with an Edge browser. Here's a screenshot. Notice the size of the title text (so big it has to wrap) compared to the labels and data text (which has the actual information). The general text size is also a bit small for reading.

I'd also say that mint green text on white is not great contrast for accessibility, even for sighted people in bright lighting. Again, not an easy design issue.

@openfactbook @sunflowerinrain The United Kingdom has more than just English as a language. Official languages include Cornish, Welsh, Irish, Scots Gaelic. English is the defacto language.

@cyberspice
You're right - we were only showing "English" without the recognized regional languages (it was in the notes of our data). Just pushed a fix: the Languages section now displays the full note from our source data, including Welsh, Scots Gaelic, Irish, and Cornish with their speaker estimates. (Will be shown in the Language below Quick Facts)

@openfactbook @cyberspice
Da iawn!

@openfactbook some of the people who taught me about the CIA World Factbook also taught me about the strategic importance of the United States’ soft power, project through this and other outwardly altruistic endeavors such as USAID.

One would wish the people now in charge would have learned those lessons, if not the humanist ones.

@openfactbook @jcdvore I just hope that someone is overseeing any edits. It would be tragic if it were filled with inaccurate information by people with an agenda to mislead.

@openfactbook Diolch yn fawr!
