This is for Everyone
summary
Argument: design for real constraints not vague ideals. Claims include concrete wins: Flipkart Lite: 40% more returning visitors 63% higher conversions from home‑screen and 3× time spent, PWAs and server‑side updates stop stale apps, and responsive images plus the picture/srcset chop pages from 3.6MB average and images from 1.8MB to much less. Targets: low‑end Android with 512MB RAM (25% of new phones), flaky 2G networks, and data costs that make autoplaying two minutes of video as expensive as school fees — implement captions, larger tap targets, good contrast, and compressed images.
