Use on mobile platforms?

Correcting myself:
I can't test this right now, but you can use bookmarklets on iOS apparently:

And Chrome through a workaround:

On Chrome mobile, the bookmarks are displayed in a separate web page, so their execution context is different. I had tried pasting the javascript into the address bar and that works (when the execution context is correct). The workaround you posted seems to be the best bet i.e. save a bookmark-let called "jetzt", then type "jetzt" into the address bar to execute it. I guess that is good enough to be honest. I'll test it now.

Seems like on iOS safari (as per the links you send) it would work.

I can't think of any better solutions at the moment short of creating a web site with jetzt embedded in it for reading other sites, and that sounds horrific!

OK the Chrome bookmarklet thing does work but it's not really usable because by default it does the selection highlighting method. I have a Note3 with a wand, which works similar to a mouse, and I can get it to almost work but it's clunky as hell.

No bother, all we have to do is made the new article scrape the default behaviour of the bookmarklet or simply create a second bookmarklet with with that behaviour as a default.

It would be nice if we could force the keyboard to disappear when we start running (Android).

We should show controls to change the speed, color scheme etc when running on mobile (or just all the time).

On mobile we can use per-site cookies for persistence of settings, unless someone knows of an alternative?

@ecsplendid, short awnser on persistance of settings, I added a localstorage (html5) config method that I use in the bookmarklet, this saves the config per origin (quite similar to a domain or website).

Maybe open another issue to brainstorm on mobile control? Gestures etc

I had an idea for picking just the starting point: #43
