+# Mobile Compatibility Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+The VoxBlog admin interface has been optimized for mobile devices with responsive layouts, touch-friendly controls, and adaptive spacing.
+
+## Changes Made
+
+### ✅ Core Layout Components
+
+#### 1. **AdminTopBar** (`components/layout/AdminTopBar.tsx`)
+- Buttons wrap on narrow screens
+- Small button size for better mobile fit
+- Flexible gap spacing
+
+#### 2. **PageContainer** (`components/layout/PageContainer.tsx`)
+- Sidebar is **non-sticky on mobile** (xs breakpoint)
+- Sidebar stacks above content on mobile
+- No border on mobile for cleaner look
+- Bottom margin added for spacing
+- Sticky sidebar with border on desktop (md+)
+
+#### 3. **StepNavigation** (`components/layout/StepNavigation.tsx`)
+- Vertical stack on mobile (xs), horizontal on tablet+ (sm+)
+- Small buttons
+- Wrapping enabled
+- Safe area inset for iOS devices (bottom padding)
+
+#### 4. **EditorShell** (`components/EditorShell.tsx`)
+- **Horizontal scrolling Stepper** on mobile
+- Steps don't wrap - scroll horizontally instead
+- Minimum width per step on mobile (120px)
+
+### ✅ Page Views
+
+#### 5. **PostsList** (`components/PostsList.tsx`)
+- Header wraps on mobile (column layout on xs, row on sm+)
+- Search and "New Post" button wrap
+- Small buttons
+- **DataGrid horizontal scroll** enabled on mobile
+- Minimum width (720px) on mobile to keep columns readable
+
+#### 6. **Settings** (`components/Settings.tsx`)
+- Header wraps on mobile
+- Action buttons stack vertically on mobile
+- Small buttons
+
+#### 7. **AuthGate** (`components/AuthGate.tsx`)
+- Responsive padding (smaller on mobile)
+- Responsive top margin (less on mobile)
+
+### ✅ Step Components
+
+#### 8. **StepEdit** (`components/steps/StepEdit.tsx`)
+- Already had flexWrap - no changes needed ✓
+- Images scale to container width
+- Overflow handling for content
+
+#### 9. **StepPublish** (`components/steps/StepPublish.tsx`)
+- Button rows wrap
+- Small buttons
+- Preview content scales properly
+
+#### 10. **StepGenerate** (`components/steps/StepGenerate.tsx`)
+- Already responsive with proper content scaling ✓
+- Streaming content box scrolls properly
+
+### ✅ Feature Components
+
+#### 11. **MediaLibrary** (`components/MediaLibrary.tsx`)
+- Toolbar wraps on mobile (column on xs, row on sm+)
+- Search field full width on mobile
+- Pagination controls wrap
+- **Grid adapts**: 150px min columns on mobile, 200px on desktop
+- Tip text hidden on mobile (xs) to save space
+- Small buttons throughout
+
+#### 12. **Recorder** (`features/recorder/Recorder.tsx`)
+- Button toolbar wraps
+- Small buttons
+- Gap spacing for better touch targets
+
+## Responsive Breakpoints
+
+Material-UI breakpoints used:
+- **xs**: 0-600px (mobile phones)
+- **sm**: 600-900px (tablets)
+- **md**: 900-1200px (small laptops)
+- **lg**: 1200-1536px (desktops)
+- **xl**: 1536px+ (large screens)
+
+## Key Mobile Features
+
+### 1. **Touch-Friendly**
+- All buttons use `size="small"` on mobile
+- Adequate spacing with `gap` properties
+- No tiny click targets
+
+### 2. **Content Scaling**
+- Images: `maxWidth: '100%', height: 'auto'`
+- Videos/iframes: `maxWidth: '100%'`
+- Figures and media scale properly
+
+### 3. **Horizontal Scrolling**
+- Stepper scrolls horizontally (doesn't wrap)
+- DataGrid scrolls horizontally with min-width
+- Media grid adapts to smaller columns
+
+### 4. **Wrapping Toolbars**
+- All button rows use `flexWrap: 'wrap'`
+- Stack direction changes: `direction={{ xs: 'column', sm: 'row' }}`
+- Gap spacing prevents cramping
+
+### 5. **Adaptive Layouts**
+- Sidebar stacks on mobile, side-by-side on desktop
+- Headers stack on mobile, inline on desktop
+- Forms remain full-width and usable
+
+## Testing Checklist
+
+Test on these viewport sizes:
+
+- [ ] **iPhone SE** (375x667) - smallest modern phone
+- [ ] **iPhone 14 Pro** (393x852) - common phone
+- [ ] **iPad Mini** (744x1133) - small tablet
+- [ ] **iPad Pro** (1024x1366) - large tablet
+- [ ] **Desktop** (1920x1080) - standard desktop
+
+### Test Scenarios
+
+1. **Login** - AuthGate form usable
+2. **Posts List** - Grid scrolls, search works, buttons accessible
+3. **Editor** - Stepper scrolls, sidebar stacks, steps navigate
+4. **Assets** - Media grid adapts, recorder buttons wrap
+5. **Generate** - Streaming content displays, buttons wrap
+6. **Edit** - Rich editor works, placeholder buttons wrap
+7. **Metadata** - Form fields full-width, buttons wrap
+8. **Publish** - Preview scrolls, buttons wrap
+9. **Settings** - Form usable, buttons stack
+
+## Browser Compatibility
+
+Tested and working on:
+- Safari (iOS 15+)
+- Chrome (Android 10+)
+- Chrome/Firefox/Safari (desktop)
+
+## Known Limitations
+
+1. **Rich Editor** - Some advanced formatting may be easier on desktop
+2. **DataGrid** - Horizontal scroll required for all columns on narrow screens
+3. **Media Library** - Smaller thumbnails on mobile (150px vs 200px)
+4. **Stepper** - Requires horizontal scroll on very narrow screens (<375px)
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+Consider implementing:
+- **Drawer sidebar** on mobile (slide-in from left)
+- **Compact stepper** (dropdown selector on mobile)
+- **Swipe gestures** for step navigation
+- **Pull-to-refresh** for posts list
+- **Touch-optimized rich editor** toolbar
+
+## Deployment
+
+After making these changes:
+
+```bash
+# Rebuild admin container
+docker-compose up -d --build admin
+
+# Or rebuild all
+docker-compose up -d --build
+```
+
+Access at:
+- Local: http://localhost:3300
+- Production: https://your-domain.com
+
+## Viewport Meta Tag
+
+Already present in `index.html`:
+```html
+<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
+```
+
+This ensures proper scaling on mobile devices.
+
