Creddle relies heavily on the browser for positioning sections and calculating font sizes. The work required to get rendering working on mobile isn't trivial and it's not a priority since most people would prefer to type up a resume on a computer.
That being said, there's nothing to say that responsive resumes can't be done. In fact, Creddle resumes are built in Bootstrap with this in mind. Resumes would still be designed on desktop, but exported to be viewed on mobile. I've just found while 80% of resumes might look okay condensed to a single column view on a phone, the last 20% would need some extra formatting decisions specific to mobile to be made by the user, which means designing and building a UI for that as well, so I scrapped it for the time being.
But mobile resumes have been requested by people before and I think it can be done, it's just not a priority compared to other requests.
