1) Really narrow widths should be supported for smaller screens. I'm sure it looks great on a tablet and I'll check on my Note and S7, but I can see smaller, older iPhones and other smartphones having trouble with the three columns, say, in the Spell compendium.
So maybe a 2- or Single-Column description could be possible there, for extremely narrow devices? You could probably also reduce the margins/padding between elements, and even change to single line entries for things like "Components: V,S,M" instead.
2) In fact, nothing says the official docs have to stick to SRD info, right? How about on tiny real estate screens, or maybe even as an option just in general, you could produce "cheat sheet" or "summary" descriptions to really speed up gameplay. Some kind of value add here that makes this an even *better* reference tool than just the SRD with a little non-SRD stuff you can't get elsewhere.
Think old school brevity without the old school "design sensibility" :)
Go beyond providing another lookup tool, slick as it is, and aim to provide an option that facilitates gameplay at the table even more than a regular SRD resource would.
Filter off long descriptions, maybe, and turn it into summary for the "rules lookup-y" stuff: "Magic Missile: 3 projectiles + 1 per level above first. 1d8 force/each.
Right now its only configured to pc, so its only going to be displaying mobile webpages, all this problems will be sorted when the official Mobile apps are realised. for now if you want to use it you're best bet is tablets and pc due to the fact only the web page is up and running.
That's fine. I'm just saying that websites can be designed for all screen sizes. They've already got two sizes to pick from, and the display changes based on browser width. No reason not to have a third for people who can't/won't install the app but are fine using the website.

But...better than that. :)
