I'm wondering if you're aware that WhatsApp's data store is on the phone, not on their servers. If so, how would you do away with the requirement that the phone stay online while using the web client?

I don't think it's mentioned in the blog post, but we used csswatch jQuery plugin to watch for changes. https://github.com/leifcr/jquery-csswatch/

The one problem I've found with this approach is making sure that the CSS and JS breakpoints stay in sync as a site is maintained. At my previous job, we came up with a way of changing JS behavior based on CSS changes to DOM objects.

I'm not arguing that providing options (done the right way) is a bad way to do it. I'm just disagreeing with someone who says the Paul Rand way of doing things is arrogant. Some people are extremely good at what they do. They have have tons

"It's arrogant to assume the best way you know how is the best way for the client." That's not what he's saying. He's saying that he's going to try as hard as he can to come up with what he thinks is the best solution to the problem. It may
