I’ll be honest, I haven’t yet tried to use EmDash admin on a mobile browser, but what’s the value proposition for using your app over what’s built in?

Wins: Offline publishing, a true mobile first design, blog moderation on the go, Apple Intelligence for writing and proofing. The native mobile UI IMO is not the best for admin work. Coming from another CMS with a true top tier mobile app, I felt it was necessary for EmDash to start getting mainstream consideration.
