Seems pretty common in mobile dev, the iPad is hugely popular and widescreen. Many apps also run on Mac desktop.

  That would amount to a total of 25% of the devices connected to the internet.

    I have no idea what point you're trying to make here

      It's easy to do layout right for such a small subset of the market.

        Not only does that not make any sense in the context of this discussion, "it's easy to do layout right for 1 billion devices instead of 4 billion" isn't a very compelling argument.
        • owebmaster 1y ago
          Oh my. Yeah. Your app working only on 1/4 of the devices in place of 100% is not compelling. What a waste of time.

            First you said a mobile app developer doesn't have to worry about various screen sizes. But Android devices come in a ton of sizes and form factors. iPad apps are windowed and resizable, and a native Mac app runs on a system that connects to a monitor of arbitrary size. So give that point was completely bunk, you changed it to something about the total number of internet connected devices. I have absolutely no clue why that is relevant, and you haven't explained why it is either.
