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

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.

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.
