To answer from [the previous topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/new-topic-s-edit-area-is-small-for-mobile-user/288929/11). Yt.w wanted to disable the toolbar _by default_ on certain conditions because:

I figured out I could try to make some code for that. This is just an immediate band-aid solution.  
Actually, in Discourse by default, anything below 370 window width or, if an Android, the toolbar is hidden.

```js
const storedVal = keyValueStore.get("toolbar-enabled");
if (this._toolbarEnabled === undefined && storedVal === undefined) {
  // iPhone 6 is 375, anything narrower and toolbar should
  // be default disabled.
  // That said we should remember the state
  this._toolbarEnabled =
    window.innerWidth > 370 && !this.capabilities.isAndroid;
}

```

My code would be just an extension to generalize this behavior to any mobile view.

I agree with you; another approach would be to educate the user in some ways that the burger icon toggles the toolbar!
