I think responsive design that changes when resized like this is a bit annoying and unexpected. When I'm using the page and I resize it, I lose my place on the page and all the content reflows. There's nothing in traditional media that works that way.
- ra88it 15y agoThat's just it - for me, it seems like they achieved responsive design without being broken and annoying. But some of it is subjective, and I only saw the new design today. It might not hold up so well to heavy use.
- rhodimus 15y ago>> There's nothing in traditional media that works that way. And that is exactly the point - it feels like we are finally waking up to what the web can really do that traditional media cannot. I'm sure in a few years having the content reflow will be something users expect of every website (not that it is something people do all the time - see the comment that guywithabike made).
- rimantas 15y agoJust curious: how do you resize "traditional media"?
- elliottkember 15y agoWell, you can fold a newspaper up so you're reading one part of it at a time, for example.
- rorrr 15y agoWhy would you resize your browser while reading a page?
- omaranto 15y agoTo answer your question: to make the page more readable, if resizing changes column width. But your question is the wrong question. The reason to have a fluid layout is to have a single version of the page that looks good on screens of all sizes, computers, tablets, and phones.
