I'm not sure I agree with the concept of responsive design in general. It sure sounds convenient from a maintenance perspective, but pretty terrible for a usability perspective.
A phone and a desktop are two completely separate user experiences. Cramming them both into one site either reduces the utility in either one in particular or complicates code with confusing branching conditions depending on what kind of device is being used.
It always felt to me the lazy way out.. I'm sure it applies to certain sites well, maybe simple content sites. But anything more robust and I think it breaks down.
Hmm, I had been thinking about this... especially since I'll be adding more trackers and its likely that they'll start to look cluttered. Maybe a simple option on the account page to hide some of the trackers would do it.
Thanks for the insight. I think sometimes we all hope this is what will happen automatically considering all the time we put into our projects, but it doesn't end up being a realistic strategy.
