No ability to add meta tags

We would like to add Apple Smart App Banners, but currently there’s no way to add the required meta tag to do so. The meta tag takes the form:

<meta name="apple-itunes-app" content="app-id=myAppStoreID, affiliate-data=myAffiliateData, app-argument=myURL">

Are you planning to add the ability to do this? On a related topic, can we expect a mobile friendly version of Tender at some stage?

Thanks for your time.

   Oli -

   Custom HTML is an option for Ultimo plans and you could put the meta tag in as part of that, but there are currently no plans to allow meta tags for Basic/Extra plans.

   A mobile version of Tender is something we would like, but we're a small team and we have our features/fix sprints scheduled pretty tightly. A mobile version is still down the line a bit.

   Let us know if you have any other questions.

   Thanks,
   Nicole

   I’m sorry to hear this, and I hope you’ll reconsider. You might also want to mention “Custom HTML” on your plans page.

   I’m also sorry to hear a mobile first design is a way aways too. While I expect this would break backwards compatibility, I hope you’ll also use this as an opportunity to refactor your CSS to make it easier to customise. The main problems I have making custom CSS changes are:

   • over-specific CSS selectors (for example, element.class when .class is enough, the use of IDs instead of classes, using >3 selectors), so custom styles need to be even more specific
   • the use of pixels rather than ems to set font size (!), so I have to change every font-size declaration individually rather than just changing font-size on body
   • the use of !important
   • non-modular CSS, which make some styles fragile

   Please consider using idiomatic CSS, and the principles of OOCSS and/or SMACCS, which would go a long way towards making Tender CSS easy to customise.

   Cheers, Oli
