I guess if you normally create your READMEs on the phone, then no. But then, how often do you create READMEs on a phone? I can count on no hands the amount of times I've done that in my life.

Hey this is a pretty cool project. Nice job.

One of my struggles at work has been inheriting some code base from whichever team that has no documentation or it’s not even clear why something was built in the first place. Sometimes we’re left scratching our heads — “how do I even build this thing?”

I’m a strong believer in a concise Readme file.

After having to take a number of abandoned but important projects. I can fully appreciate both sides.

I'm also on mobile. No, I've probably never had a need to create a README from my phone, but it would be useful to be able to learn about this service. I wonder what they're doing that's so complicated it doesn't work on mobile...

Visit on a website and you will see, it needs widescreen.

Maybe flip your phone horizontal and request desktop site?
