> Except, web designers don't adjust web pages for mobile or web. They adjust pages for mobile, and then what you end up in a desktop web browser is acres of white space and buttons that are the size of your head.
I had to laugh at this.
I am writing a PWA now and this is definitely an issue in "desktop mode".
The thing is though, with giant monitors (I develop on a pair of 4k curved ultra-wides) there is so much room that most non-game apps just don't need all that much space. If you do use it all, it becomes cumbersome to move the mouse all the way to the corners because it is so far away. And even if you did use it, there would still be acres of unused space most likely, white or some other color.
I suppose you could do a true re-write and put multiple mobile screen onto one desktop screen, but that would be a very heavy lift and in the case of a saas app that will largely be used on mobile, it is pretty easy to understand why it never gets done. Bad cost-benefit and it would delay your launch.
The freelancer's story seems a little suspicious to me.
"Let me translate this. Robin has been using someone else’s credit card for two years..." followed by "I’m on very good terms with Robin."
Clearly, 'Robin' is a thief and it is entirely possible that Robin and the freelancer are one and the same. That the freelancer is not asking Robin for the money even though he knows him personally is telling. Does the freelancer wonder what his good client Robin thinks about the fact that Robin ran up a 12K credit card bill(payable to the freelancer, ultimately) that Robin never paid?(And we know the bill was never paid or there would be no need for the claw-back)
And I did not see any mention of where Upwork contacted Robin. Strange considering he was the one with “a credit card connected in his account that wasn’t actually his”. Is he still on the platform?
And then he sent two years worth of work to Upwork to substantiate his claim to the money. But how could Upwork know that the work he sent was legitimately related to the transaction? Could he not have created a project request for something he had already built?
Then he apparently logs ALL of his 'time' outside of the system. He said that this time was for "a brainstorming session and a few meetings" with Robin. 230 hours worth!? I notice that dates of the charge-back transactions were not provided. Was this 230 hours the entirety of the project or just a very small slice. He wrote that he had made more that 100K on Upwork and that he had other clients. That leads me to think that this 12K represented all or most of the billing on Robin's project. Was there any billing for actual implementation, or is it all brainstorming and meetings?
This story does not add up to me.
edit: I see in the graphic that apparently the work on Robin's project was for 1533 hours, so the 230 hours would have been just a portion. It makes me wonder what/how many other credit cards were used to pay for those other hours. Hard to believe Robin was above board for the first 1303 hours and then started paying with a stolen credit card.
