Detailed patterns and worked examples

Detailed pattern documentation lives in references/details.md. Read that file when the navigation tier above is insufficient.

Best Practices

Mobile-First: Start with mobile styles, enhance for larger screens
Content Breakpoints: Set breakpoints based on content, not devices
Fluid Over Fixed: Use fluid values for typography and spacing
Container Queries: Use for component-level responsiveness
Test Real Devices: Simulators don’t catch all issues
Performance: Optimize images, lazy load off-screen content
Touch Targets: Maintain 44x44px minimum on mobile
Logical Properties: Use inline/block for internationalization

Common Issues

Horizontal Overflow: Content breaking out of viewport
Fixed Widths: Using px instead of relative units
Viewport Height: 100vh issues on mobile browsers
Font Size: Text too small on mobile
Touch Targets: Buttons too small to tap accurately
Aspect Ratio: Images squishing or stretching
Z-Index Stacking: Overlays breaking on different screens
