When the internet is being mostly used (and increasingly more so) from mobile phones, why does Beaker focus on desktop? And further, do you think the web (both old web in conventional browsers and new web in Beaker) is desktop-first?
(I've been wanting to ask this in person, but so far we haven't met, and I suppose other readers might think of this question too)
- pfraze 8y agoBeaker is fundamentally a builder's tool. Right now, building means programming, and programming means typing- and typing means the desktop! I see mobile as primarily a communication platform, while desktop is for productivity. So, I think we should approach them differently. It's true that mobile growth is up, but I don't think that means that desktop is dying. Desktop still has a strong user base. At this point, I almost feel like desktop is the most neglected. We'll get to mobile when the time is right.
