Hopefully you work on a mobile theme for Newsmag. Your mobile Theme for Newspaper is GREEAAAAAT. 🙂
Just sayin. 😉 Keep the good work.
Hi
We didn’t take any decision regarding a mobile theme for Newsmag yet. Currently we work at theme’s next update but in future we may consider creating a mobile theme and for Newsmag.
Thanks for your message!
Too bad…a fast mobile theme is such an important thing at this time. 🙁
Hi folks,
is there any update regarding a mobile theme alá Newspaper? 🙂
Thank you!
We would prefer not having mobile theme for Newsmag, personally, as adds complexity to theme.
Also with responsive design already working very well for mobile with 100UX score for GPS, we are happy.
Further, with massive rollout of /AMP/ finally happening for all sites and not just news portals, separate mobile theme less needed for all those in the Googleverse.
This is just my opinion/vote.
Does not belittle or denigrate any other opinion on this topic.
But not everyone wants to swim with the AMP-Wave. Personally I hate Google. Personally I hate AMP. I want to keep the functionality of my site as it is. 🙂
AMP working well for us, as are things like Apple News, and the responsive design of theme already super fast on mobile, so in our case we’re good. Was not trying to contradict your need, just voicing an opinion I’d rather not see this theme become as “over-built” as Newspaper theme, personally.
The thing is…I don’t have Google Adsense (and can’t go back) and I think I’m not the only one. And AMP has a limited amount of accepted advertisers. That’s why I (and probably a few others) need a fast mobile theme, but not AMP. 🙂
You can load any ad format into AMP as long as mobile friendly. We do it all the time …. simple function filter hooked into footer for AMP, you can load any shortcode in place.
In any case, again – not trying to contradict you in any way. I was just posting a different “vote” on the subject, as I personally would prefer we not get more code bloat.
Why not use Newspaper if you need the mobile theme ?
Sorry, not trying to be a pain. We’re both long time users ’round here. 🙂
Not huge fan of AMP, personally, but we’re learning to live with it since we do want AMP stuff ‘featured’ in mobile, much like we are in midst of converting all our sites not already done, to https. Since Google will shamelessly pump up mobile + https + amp content over sites not using that.
What? Any ad format? That’s the first time I heard that! I’m confused, since Google has its own list of supported ad networks: https://www.ampproject.org/docs/reference/extended/amp-ad.html
My ad network is unfortunately not supported 🙁
I would prefer Newspaper, but the most of my images are only 640px wide and not 696px or something. And it is not that simple to adjust the theme to a new size.
Any ad can be loaded that doesn’t inject Javascript – that is the issue. For example we load an ad rotation script via shortcode, which has both adsense, amazon text only CSS/HTML ads, and our locally hosted text-only CSS/HTML ads. So, you can host your own ads — and graphics — via https.
But yes, if you’re using an ad network that must inject is own JS into page, especially not using https, that will not work. You might contact them to join the party 😉
HI
We didn’t made any decision yet and for the moment we don’t plan do develop a mobile theme for Newsmag.
Thanks!
