Re: A Responsive Single Page App (SPA) with 3 Issues to Consider

I realize now that I stepped into the middle of a debate that has gone on for some time. My understanding was limited, and my appreciation is masked by my own limitations.

I still do not understand the desire for a one-size-fits-all solution. The limitations to the design choices are just too overwhelming to make that a practical goal. In my opinion.

But so what. That is not any part of this discussion. Sorry for the intrusion.

I don't really understand the point you were trying to make To be honest. Your page just shows an example of a menu system - nothing new there. But this thread is about how the look and feel responds when delivered on a smaller device. Yours doesn't "respond" at all - it is just the same page on a small screen. Having the menu collapse into a three bar button is a common, intuitive approach - so the idea was for you to view and assess it on such a device. You don't get "hover" and "tooltip" when you are using your finger to operate a mobile touch screen. Also, you don't necessarily have to sacrifice functionality - you just need to be clever enough to modify the UI to suit the screen size, which includes collapsing widgets and bigger text.
