This is basically just Scribble (docs for Racket). If you have input, I'd venture to guess contributions are more than welcome!

That is always the response when people point out scribble output is unusable on many phones. But in fact people have offered fixes and they were rejected. Were they high quality fixes? I don’t know, not knowledgeable about CSS. I don’t think the project maintainers consider being useful at all on mobile a goal of scribble.

So I would say, contributions do not seem to be welcome on this topic.

And here is the relevant issue if you want some CSS that might work a little better:

It's pretty clear from this that scribble will never support mobile. I can't remember if I pulled the CSS from this change or if I came up with something myself, but making it work slightly better on my phone at least was a pretty small change, not sure if I have it around still or not.

I didn’t know! My time is pretty full right now, but I’d like to get some time with Racket and I’ll take a look if I get some space for it.
