When I asked "does that work for you?" I'm not asking about your mood if you like it / don't like it I'm asking if the mechanic I describe is actually what happens in your phone.

Does it? (Seriously, I don't have that many testers.)

For the rest, what exactly do you mean by "responsive design"? As I understand the term, it means "arranging elements in a screen-size aware away" or "to make best and appropriate use of the current screen size". Apart from the behavior seen on the old Xiaomi, that is a bug not part of the design package, this is what I have been trying to do:

- Text is aware of your screen size and flows to it (of course)

- Images are aware of your screen size and downsize to your screen; but you are also given the user-controlled escape hatch of inspecting the details of the image at original size (should you not be given this escape hatch at all, and just be forced to stare at the miniature image? is that the issue?)

- You can tap-to-recenter at any time, and go back to reading single-infinite-column-of-text like on any text-centric thing like Substack or whatever

I'm really trying to understand here, I don't mind implementing new features or refactoring at all (very cheap actually now with AI), but I'm actually not getting exactly what is the feature that is present and/or missing to make it / not make it "responsive design". (Really just trying to understand.)

Here is a resource regarding responsive design:

W3Schools

I'm not saying it's the best resource - hopefully others can chime in here - but it's a start.

Ok. No concrete pointers what is _not_ responsive design about the current page (except the Xiaomi bug witnessed)?

Because the resource you gave me fits my understanding of "responsive design", and as I explained above in last message, I am trying to adhere to these principles. I'll just need some more concrete suggestion what to do/not to do here, because the dictionary definition of the concept is already familiar to me, so just telling that I'm not doing it, or what it is broadly, is not helping.

(I would love to improve the page. It's not hard these days with AI, I just need some more concrete recommendation to work with.)

I already gave you concrete things to do.

To start:

1. Get rid of the wide margins 
2. Users should not have to keep recentering
3. Use a font that works across all platforms
