Are there good alternatives to Janrain Engage?

All the sites I support have full-sized and mobile-optimized screens. Janrain's support for mobile browsers displaying their widget is completely disappointing. That is, you can't see both columns of auth-providers as the second column is cropped on narrow screens.

Are there any service providers like Janrain that actually detect mobile browsers and re-layout their login widget for the best possible mobile experience?

+1 A:

Janrain does have dynamic resizing as well as libraries for iPhone applications

Intersting, maybe I'm not using the embedded login widget as intended? Do you have link to a site that is an example of Janrain's widget dynamically resizing?

You can use Gigya as an alternative to JanRain. Currently, the dynamic resizing still needs to be detected and handled by the website code, but it's an interesting feature request that could be added. Socialize also has several social network icon styles available, including the smaller square icons, which might help you to avoid some of these layout issues.

Also, there is a mobile SDK available for Gigya if you are planning to build an iPhone or Android app.

Gigya's documentation on how to adapt their solution to look good in mobile browsers seems to be non-existent. I will have to take your word for it unless you can direct me to a website that uses Gigya and looks good on a mobile browser?
