Hello everyone! This is the first time I am using Yellowdig, and I am very excited to learn and use this platform to connect with the community!! As a Master's student in User Experience (UX), the concept of "mobile First" design holds significant importance in shaping how I approach the development and design of digital products. To me, mobile first approach is rooted in the recognition of the growing use of mobile devices for accessing the internet and applications worldwide. It emphasizes simplicity, scalability, and accessibility, ensuring that content is easily navigable and functional on the smaller screens before scaling up to larger screens.But i think there are few instances where mobile first does not make nay sense.

Despite the ubiquity of mobile devices, there are scenarios where a Mobile First approach does not necessarily make sense, and a Desktop First strategy might be more appropriate for example when there are Complex Software Applications that are inherently complex and require a wide range of functionalities visible at once (e.g., advanced graphic design software, comprehensive data analysis tools, or extensive content management systems), a desktop-first approach might be necessary. The larger screen real estate of desktops can better accommodate the complexity and depth of these applications, offering an enriched user experience that might be constrained on a mobile device. Also mobile first wont make any sense if the website highly Interactive or Resource-Intensive Websites that demand high levels of interaction, like drag-and-drop interfaces, or are resource. intensive may perform better with a desktop-first design. Mobile devices, despite their advancements, might still face limitations in handling these demands effectively due to smaller screens, processing power, or interface constraints.

All in all adopting a mobile first or desktop first approach i think is not a one-size-fits-all decision; it requires a understanding of the product's purpose, its target audience, and the context in which it will be used. While the mobile first approach aligns with the trend of increasing mobile usage and promotes accessibility and simplicity, there are valid scenarios where a desktop first approach is justified. Form my point of view as a UX designer, the challenge lies in evaluating these factors to determine the most effective strategy that enhances user satisfaction and engagement, ensuring the design serves the needs and preferences of its intended users.
