Maybe switch from Popups to Layers for Tablet compatibility

Greetings,

I found the old thread from years ago about making a "mobile" UI. I don't think that really necessary anymore given the full feature nature of Tablets and smartphones. The current UI appears just fine on my Nexus 7 (2012).

However, the browser popups can be a challenge since most everyone like myself have them turned off by default.

I'm not a UX programmer by any means, but couldn't the popups be replaced by using a Layer (much like modern ad popups) instead so the Gargoyle UI is more Tablet friendly?

I wouldn't suspect that would a dramatic overhaul and everyone is running a modern browser now given the deprecation of older Firefox, Chrome, Safari and IE.

Thanks in advance for your reply, Mark S.

Hi at the devs, wen thinking about this please take in to consideration a11y. The web interface as is is really good with screen readers. I have a very easy time of it with both jaws 15 and NVDA. One of the reasons i don't use openwrt is that lusi with boot strap will not work with screen readers.
