Photon dev here, what's mobile-centric about it? I actually aimed for it to work well on both. The reason the pages don't span the whole distance is for legibility reasons.
I actually aimed for this to be desktop first, that's why i use buttons instead of gestures.
Your decision is good though, I personally think Alexandrite is much better than Photon.
It definitely functions well on both, I don't mean to suggest that it's meant for mobile. But yeah, I think it's mostly the fact that all the content is only on the center 1/3 of my screen. To me, that just feels a lot like a mobile view compared to something that uses the whole area of the browser.
A lot of social sites on the modern web look this way now, and generally it's a result of them trying to prioritize mobile uses first, so when I see it anywhere now it's just a "oh, this is a mobile site" in my mind.
An option was added to make everything span the whole screen, although it isn't very well optimized.
Try it now, I've made the design much better for desktop.
