The narrative that #CSS was initially designed to be static, and only later became responsive with things like media, supports, container queries, and now if()… is maybe how things turned out?
But MQs were part of the original proposal – including document age queries, & user "relevance" queries.
This wasn't a big pivot in the vision of the language, but a more continuous project of realizing that vision in relation to changing author needs & browser capabilities over time.
@mia When people claim the web was invented to present static documents, (a giant pile of Word files), and didn’t become interactive until “web apps” were “invented”… uh. My dude. The web was interactive from day 1. Hypertext reinvented human communication. Even things like mainstream film story structure were revolutionized by the web. It was NOT “dumb” documents until 2015. The web was never supposed to be just papers. Believing so reveals ignorance to historical reality — or a corrupt agenda.
