Made On iPad

It Just Works
This is my post. There are many like it, but this one is mine. More importantly, it was created entirely on an iPad: the text, the photos, the layout. The photos weren't all taken on an iPad, but they were uploaded using it (thanks to iOS 6). I used Chrome, but it works in Mobile Safari, too.
Mostly
Nothing was built to cater to the iPad, so it gets a little weird sometimes. All the
touch interaction
is handled by
jQuery Touch Punch,
which simply translates the touch events to jQuery UI. Other events used to detect selection don't make it through, so our system for adding inline formatting and links doesn't work. The above bold and italics formatting was done using the native contenteditable controls in Chrome. Uploading photos from mobile using XMLHttpRequest-based uploads isn't perfect either.
We'll get there.
