You as the developer have access to and are aware of all possible display dimensions and aspect ratios. It's not that hard to prioritize the sizes you want to support and then work based off that. There are plenty of tools out there that let you simulate different screen sizes for testing too. I don't see this information providing any extra value.
- CJefferson 8y agoSurely the best sizes to prioritize would be the ones your users are using the most?
- samirm 8y agoAlso known as the most common sizes used by everyone else for most other sites...
- chipotle_coyote 8y agoI wonder how those other sites figured out what window dimensions their users were most commonly using!
- samirm 8y agothat doesn't matter now does it?
- Reedx 8y agoMetrics like that can vary significantly depending on your audience.
- kelnage 8y agoBut you are assuming the users browse the website in full screen mode/maximised. Whilst true for most mobile devices, this is certainly not given on desktops.
- samirm 8y agoNo, I'm not assuming that, because regardless of how the user browses your site, you're still going to prioritize the sizes important to you. It wouldn't make sense to prioritize optimizing site design for the few people who are using a non-standard size. http://gs.statcounter.com/screen-resolution-stats http://gs.statcounter.com/screen-resolution-stats
