Hacking Dreamwidth for Mobile

Hey! I think this is gonnna work!

There's two reasons why I'm terrible about keeping up with Dreamwidth. The first is that I'm spread too thin across too many different platforms and interests. The second is that I've moved almost entirely to mobile, and DW sucks on mobile.

I can't do much about the first, but I've developed some hacks to help with the second. I'd already tweaked DW so it was easier to read. Now I've found a tool to make writing easier, either using iPad splitscreen mode or iPhone app switcher. (Sorry, I am only an iOS person, but so are a lot of you.)

( DW writability hacks )

I think, with these hacks, I'm going to stop wishing for a Dreamwidth app.

I hope this helps somebody. It helps me, because I figure things out by explaining them. And I need to figure out how to do this before December, because I always visit my parents for two weeks over the holidays, and I want to be able to post/edit chapters while I am gone.
