This is how I see things. As a user, I don't want to have to set custom specifications for my browser (especially since a lot of sites will break them).

I just want a site to look good as a _baseline_, and then I can resize / adjust if I really need to.

The hard thing is, most people aren't programmers, nor do they know you can set your own preferences. With this topic I tend to think of building things for the lowest common denominator.

You're right, the featured image is usually terrible for most blogs. Thanks for the feedback on the share icons - definitely annoying and will tone them back on mobile + images.

It would be a whole lot of effort for me to write a 3.000 word advertisement.

You're right, that's a pretty terrible sentence. Not to use this as an excuse, but it's hard to write an article that covers multiple points while still going deep on each.(without making it ridiculously long*) It's probably part of my lack of experience as a writer - still working on it! Thanks for the feedback.

Fair warning: This article is geared more towards a less-technical audience or true beginners.

This post outlines what cross platform development is, the drawbacks and the benefits, and more.

Of course this isn't the *only way to succeed with consumer software, but it seems to be the most consistent business model we see working.

From my perspective, revenue is awesome. Selling someone's data or getting people addicted to micro-transactions (the only other ways people are succeeding) doesn't seem like a desirable business to be in.

What are your thoughts?
