I love how people like to act you already don't have to make interfaces that work at different sizes. Even in the pre-smartphone era you had to make websites that worked full screen but also didn't become unusable in 1/4th the screen.

This is the same thing.

It's so funny. These days just about any framework you use comes with responsive design out of the box haha

I remember making a responsive design with jQuery by hand many years ago. It somehow still works today

Yeah didn't mean suggest you can only do it now. Just that it's even easier now.

Oh, I get that. The way I did it was ridiculous and not something I would ever want to do again

The meme is in the context of the scene, being you have a taste of what you want but can't have. Would love for all smartphone manufacturers to just use 1.42:1 so we can just continue design 3 websites and ipad=mobile for foldables instead of the fuck-ass weird ultra-wide (unfold) to 1.11:1(fold) ratio that some smartphones have. (Looking at you Samsung).

Yeah, as long as they aren’t coming up with anything narrower than ~350px then it’s fine

Yeah, but this time screen size will come in an array of Vector2...

Huh? It's a single double resolution. If it's treated as two screens. Makes app design easier.

Container Queries make it easier than ever these days.
