Responsive alternative to Aviary for mobile - image-manipulation

Question

Since Aviary does not plan on having a responsive image editor in the near future (e.g., not great on mobile safari), does anyone know of alternatives?
This is where they say that responsive is not in the near future:

Answer 1

You can use the following css, to make the aviary editor popup responsive. This is the only solution:
#media all and (max-width: 640px) {
html {
height: 100%;
}
body {
min-height: 100%;
position: relative;
}
.avpw_is_fullscreen #avpw_controls, #avpw_holder #avpw_controls, #avpw_holder .avpw_is_fullscreen #avpw_controls {
position: absolute;
left: 5px;
right: 5px;
min-width: 300px;
-webkit-sizing: border-box;
-moz-sizing: border-box;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
#avpw_holder #avpw_tool_content_wrapper {
position: relative;
padding-bottom: 56px;
}
#avpw_holder #avpw_tool_main_container {
position: relative;
}
#avpw_holder #avpw_tool_options_container {
position: relative;
}
#avpw_holder #avpw_tool_container {
left: 0;
right: 0;
min-width: 300px;
}
#avpw_holder .avpw_prev, #avpw_holder .avpw_next {
}
#avpw_holder .avpw_tool_pager .avpw_clip {
right: 48px;
}
#avpw_holder .avpw_scroll_strip {
}
#avpw_holder .avpw_scroll_strip .avpw_scroll_page {
/* max-width:200px; */
/* width: 300px !important; */
}
#avpw_holder #avpw_rghtArrow {
right: 0;
}
#avpw_holder #avpw_canvas_embed {
-webkit-sizing: border-box;
-moz-sizing: border-box;
box-sizing: border-box;
top: 188px;
}
#avpw_holder #avpw_zoom_container {
width: auto;
min-width: 42px;
left: 5px;
/* right: 5px; */
background: rgba(51, 51, 51, 0.59);
}
#avpw_holder #avpw_canvas_element, #avpw_holder #avpw_canvas_element.avpw_position_by_transform {
-webkit-sizing: border-box;
-moz-sizing: border-box;
box-sizing: border-box;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
top: 0;
width: 100% !important;
-webkit-transform: none !important;
-moz-transform: none !important;
transform: none !important;
}
#avpw_holder .avpw_mode_action {
position: relative;
height: 55px;
width: 100%;
top: 100%;
/* background: #303740; */
}
#avpw_holder .avpw_mode_action_left,
#avpw_holder .avpw_mode_action_left + .avpw_mode_action_right {
width: 50%;
}
#avpw_holder .avpw_mode_action_left {
float: left;
}
#avpw_holder .avpw_mode_action_right {
float: right;
}
.avpw_mode_action_left:after, .avpw_mode_action_right:before, .avpw_tool_pager .avpw_scroll_rule {
height: auto !important;
top: 0 !important;
bottom: 0 !important;
}
#avpw_holder .avpw_mode_action .avpw_button {
/* position: relative; */
}
#avpw_holder .avpw_back_button {
float: left;
}
}

I really needed Aviary Web Widget on mobile. I tried CSS tweaking. It was a nightmare.
Then, I realized I could use CSS transform, scaling the photo editor to the viewport size.
It worked!
Here is the core of it:
function adjustSize()
{
// condition to begin using scale is media query below
if (!actual.mq('(max-width: 757px)'))
{
return $('body').css('transform', 'translate(0px, 0px) scale(1)');
}
// scale = actual width in pixels divided by 757 (minimum photo editor width)
var scale = actual('width', 'px') / 757;
// left side positioning
var left = (376 * scale * scale) + (-376 * scale);
return $('body').css('transform', 'translate(' + left + 'px, 0px) scale(' + scale + ')');
}
$(window).resize(adjustSize);
adjustSize();
I am using jQuery and actual. And also this CSS:
#media all and (max-width: 941px) {
.avpw_is_fullscreen #avpw_controls, #avpw_holder #avpw_controls {
top: 5px;
left: 5px;
right: 5px;
bottom: 5px;
}
}
With the CSS above, the maximum width where the Aviary photo editor fits is 757px.
So, in the JavaScript, we only trigger the scaling when the width is lower than 757px.
I am using "body" element, because the only thing in the "page" is the photo editor.
You can change and adapt the solution to your needs.
I can't believe it worked!
