- jackowayed 15y agoSo it will sell well to companies with a lot of money, then? Sounds like a good product.
- pyre 15y agoIt will sell well to companies with a lot of money by telling them what they want to hear, rather than what they need to hear. It depends on your definition of a 'good product.'
- yuhong 15y agoI am not surprised. What do you think WYSIWYG is supposed to mean?
- shabble 15y agoIdeally, you'd have "What I See Is What You Get." Then traditional designers (the "I") can have their pixel-perfect whatevers reproduce exactly on every single system/configuration (the "You"). Or, you could have "What You See Is What You Want, Based On What I Think Is A Good Way To Do This (But You Can Also Choose)" Things like resolution independence, mobile/small display support, gestural interaction support, impaired-senses accessibility, graceful degradation, and multi-browser compatibility all go towards into that, IMO. It may not be identical on every system, but it will look good and be usable. I can't really see WYSIWYW,BOWITIAGWTDT(BYCAC) being the next sales paradigm shifting quantum leap of buzzwordology though.
