Nostr Web Client

I'm trying to learn a few things about media queries in CSS, and I have a quick question.

When you put create your HTML boiler plate code, and you specify in the META tag like this ;

you are saying that you are asking the browser to inquire about the width of the screen, and to use that information to render the document, that's fine , I get all of that .

My question is , if I have a laptop with an external display, which "device-width" is the browser going with , the external display , or the laptop width ?

What is new? Screen queries?

The window management API seems like a new API. I used to be involved in W3C, not in years tho.

Keep at it. Learning tech is cumulative. So many great ways to learn these days. I am a old fucker started in the 90s before most knew about HTTP

Whichever screen the browser is open on, or the width of both of you have it extended. The viewport is everything you can see inside the browser window
