Make a thing responsive, people bitch about how many plugins you're using.

Make a thing vanilla, people bitch about how it doesn't work on their phone.

Make 300k off a website and people make a competitor to mock the value you delivered. People are stupid and you can't win. They will always try to force everyone to race to the bottom, because if they can't have it why should you?

No it needs to work in any hn readers browser. Different business requirements entirely! The business case here is to get hn traffic to that site and start a discussion.
