While I appreciate your response, I don't agree with your assumption. 
Trello has a native app for Android that behaves as it does on the 
desktop - i.e., you can touch and drag cards easily. There is no reason 
for them to support any browsers on android.

The reason the mobile website doesn't currently allow this is because of 
how its set-up: in order to drag a card you need to simulate the click 
and hold function on the button of the mouse. This currently isn't 
possible on Ubuntu Touch.

What I'm asking is a really simple question: is there anyway to 
implement & mimic the click & hold option of a mouse at this time with 
Ubuntu Touch? Are there any options I can use on a per app basis for 
this? Is there any code in the webapp container I can change? Currently 
long pressing mimics the right mouse button, while a tap mimic a left 
click. I need something that mimics click and hold. Is there any way to 
change this on a per app basis?

Considering that Trello doesn't support Ubuntu Touch officially (and 
based on recent correspondence I doubt much of their team realises it 
exists), contacting Trello directly for this problem seems pointless. 
Could someone please answer whether its possible for the click & hold 
function of a mouse to be implemented within Ubuntu Touch for a webapp 
at this time?

Thanks,

Mitchell
