SmartBots to become 100% mobile-friendly

Dear friends! First of all, we appreciate you are being with SmartBots since 2009!

The development of SmartBots started in 2009 – the early mobile era. Shame on us, we did not paid enough attention to mobile users yet! Working with Second Life bots for almost 10 years, we finally dare to rework all SmartBots services and pages to become 100% mobile-friendly.

This is a quite tricky work because SmartBots uses multiple web engines and platforms (if you are interested: Linux and Windows, PHP and Perl, C# and NodeJS, xml and Vue). We have to dig into each engine and rework it until it supports all modern mobile phones! A complex task we have to do.

Helpful hints

We will start reworking website parts one by one. If you really need something to be adapted asap, don’t hesitate to contact us (just drop a word to our support!). We will prioritize all requests. The website main page has been adapted for a mobile usage, more to come!

Plans besides mobility

Despite of this task complexity, we will keep developing new services and improving existing tools. The new bot tool will be published within the next few days!
