The Twitter archive layout was not optimized for mobile devices, causing usability issues with fixed font sizes, inadequate touch targets, and horizontal overflow.

Changes

Responsive Typography

  • Fluid font scaling with clamp(): tweets 18px→26px, primary count 2em→4em
  • Responsive headings (h1-h4) for mobile hierarchy

Layout & Navigation

  • Sidebar: sticky 20rem on desktop, full-width top section on mobile (<768px)
  • Navigation: stacked full-width items on mobile with 44px touch targets
  • Main content: reduced padding from 2rem to 1rem on mobile
  • Flex layouts (.lo, .lo-cols): stack to 100% width on mobile

Overflow Prevention

  • overflow-x: hidden on html/body
  • Word-breaking for code blocks, URLs, and long text
  • Tweet media: flex-wrap enabled, full-width on mobile

Touch Optimization

  • Minimum 44px height for buttons, inputs, links
  • Pagination: full-width stacked buttons on mobile
  • Header avatar: scales 40px (mobile) to 52px (desktop)

Breakpoint Strategy

Single breakpoint at 48em (768px) using mobile-first approach. Base styles target 320px+ devices.

/* Example: Responsive tweet font sizing */
.tweet {
  font-size: clamp(1.125em, 2vw, 1.625em); /* 18px mobile to 26px desktop */
}

@media (max-width: 48em) {
  .sidebar {
    width: 100%;
    position: static;
    height: auto;
  }
}
