- it's optimized for the smaller screen / touch interface - it's provided for the majority of github's features - it allows easily getting to the "full" desktop site
I'll probably continue to the website unless they stop development in favor of the app. What features do you really need an app for here? Or will this allow me to browse my repo offline?
The worst part is sometimes it doesn't render the full README. Some README's aren't useful till halfway through.
This is completely different from the mobile site, so if you leave the mobile site and land on one of these pages, there's just not much you can do but complain

What's there is good, but most of it simply isn't there.
Relying on mobile apps made for specific platforms will always be arbitrarily limiting and enforce the duopoly.
