yesdevnull 2.0
The website as it appears on a MacBook, iPhone and iPad.

Over the last month I’ve been thinking that my website was ermm… rather shocking on any screen that wasn’t a laptop screen. There was no support for phone or tablet displays, along with no support for retina/HiDPI displays that most smartphones are using these days.

I started off with rebuilding the template from scratch using a flexible and responsive Sass template framework called Gumby. This is my first experience using a CSS extension language and it was pretty fun to play around. I am now very much into mixins and includes.

Next, all site iconography (from Glyphicons) were converted to svg and then entered as code into CSS. I figured that it would be quicker to make big up the CSS file size a bit more than have a few extra HTTP requests for a few small images.

I’ve spent a while testing the site on a staging environment so hopefully it’s working ok for you readers! If you see any issues with the site, please let me know on Twitter at @yesdevnull.
