HEY but what if we took rwd the other way around and actually add features to platforms that have room for them. i guess it depends how big your monitor is, but generally speaking tumblr has a lot of extra blue on the sides. I know i know, this is an age old talk. There was that bit about not assuming mobile users won’t want to use every feature available..
Idk maybe that wouldn’t be so bad though. The next year or two is obvi going to have some new shifts in rwd, with WEAR and TV stuff. Maybe it’s time we gave these ui guidelines some much needed room to grow.
The biggest thing that I’m looking forward to is advances in responsive image serving. I know it’s been talked about plenty in the past, but I’ve got a feeling that’s going to be a big topic this year. The doors that could potentially open could be really exciting. If things get good enough it could eliminate the NEED for minimalism. Nothing directly wrong with minimalism as a design choice, but when it’s treated like there’s really no other option is takes a bit of the fun out.
