> Re: sizing: interesting, that’s the first report of it failing, I indeed should do a require desktop version. Are you talking about the landing page or the app? The app uses javascript to detect, the landing page uses page width.
Ah, I'm talking about the landing page. Sorry, I should have been more clear. If it's not something that you can easily reproduce on your end (see this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21960897 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21960897 ) let me know, I can send you more details about what I'm using.
> Re:spelling, plural of proper nouns should use apostrophes I think, no?
Someone's already answered this -- I'm just chiming in to let you know that this is an extraordinary common error, even among native speakers. I have literally seen C-level executives making it in their emails, and I'm sure it wasn't a typo or something because they didn't get a single damn plural right. So don't feel bad about it. If you're not a native speaker and learned English by yourself, you've likely picked it up from someone who is :-).
(FWIW, I'm not a native speaker, either, I just had really good teachers.)
> I’m not sure if making those proper nouns was the right choice, I wanted to highlight that they were terms in the app.
I don't think that's too big a problem :). I'm fairly sure it's not correct (I don't think they're proper nouns, just like class, object or channel, all of which have specific meanings in the context of one technology or another). But the English language does have a tradition of weird capitalization, and capitalizing them doesn't change anything in terms of meaning. It's not the same as using a possessive form instead of a plural form.
