Finish the Mobile Application Shell

Task

Make the prepared Readly shell usable on smaller screens without creating a separate mobile application.

Review:

  • global sidebar
  • top navigation
  • Home
  • My Library
  • Settings

Use the existing responsive Tailwind structure and collapse the persistent desktop sidebar into the mobile navigation treatment already established by the design.

Keep the same routes and application state.

Test

Use a narrow viewport and verify:

  • navigation is reachable
  • cards do not overflow horizontally
  • dialogs fit the viewport
  • controls remain tappable
  • the desktop layout is unchanged

Checkpoint

The main Readly application shell works on desktop and mobile without duplicated routes.
