Notice there is only 1 full headline (from /r/NoStupidQuestions) visible, it doesn’t even show the full post. There are 3 of those “trending” boxes but only 2 of those even fit their headlines because they are like 3 words long, they cut off anything longer including the description

I originally became addicted to Reddit because of how streamlined it was to skim dozens of headlines and pick from lots of content, seems they have decided content is not something they want to provide anymore :/

    That’s not a mobile first principal. Mobile first design and development includes progressive enhancement as the viewport grows. You can make a website that operates perfectly on mobile and desktop. These fucks just don’t actually adhere to any philosophies or standards. Don’t blame mobile first, which is a brilliant approach, for the shortcomings of a dumb-ass company like Reddit.

      It’s called “responsive design” i think. I played around with it a bit when learning html years ago. You can get free website templates that have this cooked in - like, you don’t need to code anything. Seems easy to do and pretty much an industry standard now. Pretty weird that reddit would choose a trashy option instead.

        Responsive design is approach you can use as part of your mobile first development. There are others, but responsive is a good one.

        Yeah I used bootstrap for building some websites almost a decade ago now, and I used responsive design. You could have the website in a small browser window and it’d appear as the mobile version with a navbar at the top. As you drag the window wider it slowly morphed into the desktop version.
