Merge ipad ui into desktop ui

[yamsellem]

This project is great ;-).

Their is only one thing that bothers me: the ipad ui is great and I don't get why it's not used for desktop. The 2 columns with a list pane on the left is perfect on desktop too.

Don't you think so?
Thanks.

ps. and it works as is (tested with chrome ipad simulator — it just needs to handle mouse click besides touches)

@yamsellem: If you're on Mac, in the meantime, you could create a Fluid app, and change the User Agent string into the iPad one and that would also work.

I'm sure there's something similar for Windows and Linux.

Actually, @cheeaun, on a kinda related note: would you think creating an "Install" button on Firefox would be something you'd welcome for the app?

Using window.navigator.mozApps.install('path/to/manifest') using the manifest you already have for the Marketplace.

[cheeaun]

@berbaquero you mean showing the button on the app itself? Currently I'm leaning towards Chrome's implementation here: https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2015/03/increasing-engagement-with-app-install-banners-in-chrome-for-android . I haven't seen any updates from Mozilla/Firefox's side for a long time now.

Yeah, I mean showing an 'Install' button somewhere on the app, or in the homepage, similar to:

Reeddit's homepage, on Firefox only, of course.

[cheeaun]

@berbaquero ah, I see what you mean. As of now, not really thinking of implementing that. Is it working for you on Reeddit, as in users ask for it or using it?

[berbaquero]

@cheeaun actually, in Reeddit's case it was just a PR I accepted 😛

But I really like the idea of explicitly "installing directly from the browser".

Now that you mention it, I should probably put an event tracking on that button and see how it does, heh.
