Hi! This is my second one of these ever and I am currently in a place where my main computer isn’t. So I’m doing this all on iPhone and occasionally a pad.
If anyone has hacks on how to roll dice or read things on the phone easier, I’d love to hear them.
Sai, if this isn’t an okay topic, please don’t smite me.

Topic is probably fine, and potentially helpful for anyone that gets stuck on a phone. I personally don't have issues with it, just a lot of copy and paste for things, a lot of rotating the phone, and if you have a bluetooth keyboard/mouse available that can be helpful.

In theory
the roller works on mobile. However, only owning an Android phone, I confess I haven't really tested it on iPhone. What issues are you encountering?

A number of double posts and eaten posts, mainly. I think that’s me fat fingering or otherwise user erroring, so I figured I’d put my relatively noob status and see if people had any tricks, like screen locking or whatever.
I’m gonna try rolling shortly, so…fingers crossed!

I’ve been having a hard time successfully opening multiple tabs to the places I want them opening. Do you do miltitab reading or just tap through?

I'll suggest writing all your posts first in a notebook app then copy-pasting them. Should help avoiding tragedy with wrongful clicks (I do so even though I'm using a laptop because accidentally hitting some keyboard shortcut that switches the page and losing your whole post is just so damn easy).

Ooo, that’s a really good idea! Thanks!
