updates the explainer #82
Conversation

Let's @darktears and Laura have a look before merging |

I need some context here since there isn't a spec change proposed as well. The updated logo looks good, thanks! Part of the TAG feedback is to explain the postures better and what they mean in terms of segments/UX changes. This is a good opportunity to link with the Window Segment API which we haven't done very well TBH. An example on how we could explain the tent posture (I favor this name since it's used and known by people) and what it means for the UX (with diagram):

Can you and Diego jump on a quick call? Ping him on Twitter maybe? |

Hola, I'm here @darktears @kenchris. I'm working on updating the postures and explaining them in a more detailed way. Happy to jump in a call and discuss the abstractions for the new postures. |

Hola @lauramorinigo, WDYT of the changes we're proposing in the explainer? The idea is to streamline and bring the spec and associated docs up to date. 😀 |

| ## Goals | ||
|
|
||
| Foldable devices come in many shapes and sizes. While the use cases for the ultrabooks of the past vary significantly from those of the new trend of mobile devices due to the inherent focus on screen real estate, **the data in question is similar since it’s related to the angle of the fold**. | ||

| The device posture is the physical position in which a device holds which may be derived from sensors in addition to the angle. The **main interest in knowing the device posture is because there are interesting opportunities in the area of responsive design that enable new user experiences**. With these new devices, the user can choose to consume content and browse the web even when the device is not flat, in which case the developer might want to provide a different layout for the content depending on how the device is being used. We propose a way to expose information about the posture of the device to the developer. |

Please leave the definition of device posture since it's something that has been discussed and agreed to add.
"The device posture is the physical position in which a device holds which may be derived from sensors in addition to the angle."
