Hello Aleksi Thanks for your feedback. I think I need to clarify a couple of things, which I should have made a little more clear in the article. Firstly, the article relates specifically to www.ripe.net, our public website. These changes won’t affect the functionality or design of our other websites such as the RIPE Database, stat.ripe.net, atlas.ripe.net, etc. This means that your workflow shouldn’t be affected if you’re using one of these tools. Secondly, in the article, “fully responsive design” refers to the practice of making a website’s layout change based on the size of the screen on which it is presented. Generally this practice doesn’t change the content on the page itself, instead it moves the content around to best fit the screen size and orientation. For example, a page displayed on a tablet device would use a slightly smaller font size and reduced image sizes compared to how the page would display on the larger screen of a laptop. The page’s HTML and contents would be the same in both cases, and the transition between layouts doesn't require the page to reload. This also shouldn’t affect your workflow, and the changes we’re making in this respect will be limited to the www.ripe.net website. I hope this answers your concerns. If not, please feel free to reach out and I can provide more detail.
