Hi I'm a software developer designing complex web apps ( https://puretrack.io/ )
Sadly I much prefer Safari's responsive design mode, and would like to see something similar. Here's why:
- I want to jump in/out of the mode quickly to test sizes/breakpoints. In Safari, ctrl-cmd-r toggles responsive mode. In Orion it only enteres.Toggling is handy then I can jump between phone size and desktop size (the native window size).
- I use the side 'grabbers' to scale the window a LOT to see the breakpoint behaviour.
- Safari is almost instant to jump in/out of responsive design mode. It doesn't reload anything, it just changes the window size, and lets me scale the 'window' smaller than the actual window can.
- I don't want it reloading the page, as i'm testing javascript features and CSS with Vue/Vite hotloading. Then I loose my place, or what I'm testing.
An example of how fast it is:
What Safari doesn't have:
- They used to have preset sizes I could jump to quickly. They swapped it for 'simulators' which I have never been able to get working...
- So managing a list of preset sizes is a nice feature of the existing responsive interface.
Hope that feedback helps!
