Each page can more easily be art directed
None
• No orders • One order • Less than one
page of orders • Multiple pages of orders • Has Info Notifications • Tab overflow • Has Warning Notifications • Has limited access to features • Has different apps installed
And now consider all of those things for multiple viewports
A single page in a web application can have dozens
of variations
A component-based site has components respondingly differently to multiple contexts
None
None
With media queries, you have to know the possible interplay
of all objects
With container queries, you only have to know the interplay
within a single object
No spec for container queries
None
None
Declare in: CSS, HTML, or JavaScript
https://github.com/ResponsiveImagesCG/cq-demos .element:media( min-width:500px ) {} https://github.com/tysonmatanich/elementQuery .element[min-width~="500px"] { background-color: #eee;
}
http://elementqueries.com/ @element ".element" and (min-width: 500px) { .element {
background: gold; } }
https://github.com/tysonmatanich/elementQuery .element[min-width~="400px"] { }
To parse CSS, either need to be on same domain
or set up CORS
https://github.com/Snugug/eq.js data-eq-pts="small: 400, medium: 600, large: 900"
At HTML level, requires consistency of implementation across app
We chose JavaScript
elements = [ { "module": ".flex--2x1", "className":"responsiveClass", "minWidth": 768, "maxWidth":
1024 } ]
Going Responsive meant a consistent feature set across all devices
New features automatically have cross-device support

Went responsive in under a month†
How the heck do you do that in a month?

There’s a discernible delay in execution
It’s not about the properties, it’s about the purpose.

Tried to use grid classes for everything
Had to write extra classes just to define responsive story
Single purpose classes resulted in less edge cases (and less
code!)
Gzip minimizes duplicate properties really well
Tables are difficult

Avoid too much on the horizontal axis

Designers should think Responsive before they need to.
Container Queries enable faster development
Use techniques to avoid media or container queries altogether
