We care, we really do -- just haven't gotten around to that part yet!
Filed as https://github.com/mozilla/appmaker/issues/387, thanks.
We're actually very interested in mobile browsers, so much so that in fact we've got plans (with no code to back them up yet) to let people author apps wholly on a phone.
Please! Resubmit a link when the mobile version is ready. Again, I don't care if it works or not. All I'm saying is that since we're all browsers at some level we support basic html. Just put a notice it ain't ready for mobile and that's good enough.

The seed for the entire idea was actually people in mobile-first environments—developing countries, etc—and helping empower them to make software for themselves and their communities.
We started with desktop authoring, and it's been a useful step on the way to a mobile-first UI.
Will be really cool when people can generate apps on their phones, publish and share them, using only touch.
I understand that there are some interfaces that aren't meant for mobile. There are some that aren't meant for desktop. But at a minimum, you have to make some small effort to give a message to those visiting from unsupported platforms. It shows that you care.
If it doesn't seem like you care about the experience I'm having with your product then I have no motivation to go back and try it again.
