Wiki for mobile

Why i cant read the github wiki on the mobile app? (Android)

Hey @Jerome2103 thanks for the note — we don't support the Wiki feature today, and don't have any immediate plans to support it in the near future. But I'll add your request to our tracking issues in case we decide to revisit Wikis in the future.

The fact that the Wiki pages are 'promoted' as part of the 'paid for services’, ‘Host documentation and simple websites for your project in a wiki format that contributors can easily edit either on the web or command line', was one of the reasons I upgraded to a paid for package subscription a while back.

Totally agree that the lack of Mobile Wiki support, which is an essential part of the GitHub, is inexcusable on the part of the GitHub development team and the GitHub ‘For-Profit’ Venture Investors. Make the platform something to be proud of and not rest on one's laurels.

PS. A more professional Markdown editor, than what is currently provided by GitHub, would not go amiss either…. The free offerings from other like https://stackedit.io/ puts GitHub to shame.

I use GitHub on mobile a lot to manage an open source project. I thought someone had deleted my wiki until I read this. It's a major omission from the mobile app for me. At the least, include a link that opens the wiki in my mobile web browser.

I agree that the wiki feature has to be supported on the phone app too!

Yeah sorry to invite work but this is a basic part of the ecosystem.

I know it matters to developers a lot which device they have to code for but a reminder: it's because for users it doesn't. They want to use what they want to use.

I have to send communication like this after we've worked to document something well

"sorry i didn’t see this earlier! There is a github wiki for this but I notice the link doesn’t exist on github mobile… so if I send it here it won’t load on your phones browser."

This is pretty obnoxious to explain

Really can't stress enough how useless this makes the app for me. Please implement.

Just double-checked to confirm that I can access the wiki section from a standard web browser, and I cannot from the GitHub app.

I was excited to standardize on a process that included solid mobile support, but it looks like I must recommend using the reactive webapp version instead of the mobile app. Without access to wiki, the app hides important sections of my repos. Even if linked in the README (to avoid the total erasure of the wiki docs), I still get dumped to an external browser to the wiki. Making the app extraneous and confusing overhead.

I am about to start a new org and considering Github enterprise, having a mobile app that allows me to edit wikis is a key requirement for me, lack of this functionality has made this decision way harder than in needs to be, unfortunately I'm looking for alternatives now.

Yeah makes no sense that I can view it on a mobile browser but not the app. I can view and edit code but not a simple wiki? Lmao come on guys
