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

Thank you for that. Yes, it makes sense. It also surprises me.

It is sounding like it can do everything that separate pages can do but with more complexity. So, all of this work is just to save bandwidth? Thats it? As we move towards 15 mbps speeds we are worrying over saving a few text strings?

I think I am missing something. I am not seeing something that is clear to everyone else.

You aren't limiting the UI. The way responsive design flows is not only
does it move things around to accommodate the change in screen dimensions,
you can also code certain things to appear on the larger formats and not on
the smaller formats and vice versa. You have a lot of flexibility in what
each dimension would be able to see and how it is represented. You also
have the flexibility to expand your presence when the larger format is
available but trim it down to the minutia when the smallest mobile presence
engages. That's what I like about Foundation framework. I'm sure the other
frameworks can do the same, but when one adopts a framework, especially
when hand-coding templates, one gets used to certain styles. I'm used to
that one. Again, responsive isn't coding to the lowest common denominator,
it is adjusting the address the lowest common denominator without
sacrificing resources on multiple interfaces. Hope that makes sense.

For starters let us assume that everyone here is way ahead of me on the
curve. I understand that my limited web experience leaves we way behind.

Where I am having the issue in my own mind is with the idea that a site
should give the same experience to everyone, regardless of the device
they are using. In my experience the attempt to do that requires coding
to the lowest common denominator. In the end, that can not be good. In
my opinion.

Can it be done? Sure. But why would anyone limit their site that way?
Programmers designing web sites is a bad idea. We are programmers, not
designers. Its like asking a plumber to design a bathroom. Bad idea.

Booth,

Maybe I'm the one that's lost.. but how is any of this a "one size fits
all" solution? I don't quite understand that reference to this
