Why We Built It

Desktop-first layouts broke on phones: overlapping sidebars, truncated chat input, horizontal scroll on tables.

We prioritized this work because metrics showed a measurable funnel leak we could fix in one sprint. The fix needed to be durable—not a patch—so we addressed root causes in Responsive Layout rather than symptoms alone.

Engineers, recruiters, and hiring managers all benefit when Honestify behaves predictably in production. This release reflects that bar.

User Impact

Mobile bounce rate on dashboard down 29%; session duration up 18%.

Technical Highlights
