Responsive Layout Breaks Below 375px Screen Width
Your application's layout breaks on very small screens (below 375px width), even though it looks fine on standard mobile sizes. Elements overflow horizontally, text gets cut off, buttons become untappable, and the page requires horizontal scrolling to use.
This affects users with older or smaller phones (iPhone SE, Galaxy A series), users who have increased their system font size, and users viewing your app in split-screen mode on tablets. These are real users who are completely locked out of your app.
Claude Code typically generates responsive CSS targeting common breakpoints (768px, 640px) but doesn't account for screens smaller than 375px, where fixed pixel widths, min-width declarations, and padding cause layout overflow.
Error Messages You Might See
Horizontal scroll appears on mobile
Layout shifts when rotating device
Elements overflow viewport boundary
Touch targets too small (Lighthouse audit)
Common Causes
- min-width on containers — CSS rules like min-width: 375px or min-width: 320px prevent the layout from shrinking further
- Fixed pixel widths — Elements have width: 360px or similar fixed values that can't adapt to smaller screens
- Horizontal padding overflow — Container padding (e.g., px-8 / 32px on each side) consumes too much of the narrow viewport
- Flexbox not wrapping — Row layouts with flex-nowrap force elements side by side when they should stack
- Media queries start too high — The smallest breakpoint is 640px, with no styles for screens below that
How to Fix It
- Design mobile-first — Write base styles for the smallest screen, then add complexity with min-width media queries
- Replace fixed widths with percentages or max-width — Use width: 100% or max-width: 100% instead of pixel values
- Reduce padding on small screens — Use responsive padding like p-3 sm:p-6 to reduce spacing on narrow viewports
- Test at 320px width — Use Chrome DevTools responsive mode set to 320px to find overflow issues
- Add overflow-x: hidden cautiously — Only on the body element as a safety net, not as a fix for individual layout issues
- Use clamp() for font sizes — Replace fixed font sizes with clamp(14px, 4vw, 18px) for fluid typography

I am a technologist and product builder dedicated to creating high-impact solutions at the intersection of AI and specialized markets. Currently, I am focused on PropScan (EstateGuard), an AI-driven SaaS platform tailored for the Japanese real estate industry, and exploring the potential of Archify.
As an INFJ-T, I approach development with a "systems-thinking" mindset—balancing technical precision with a deep understanding of user needs. I particularly enjoy the challenge of architecting Vertical AI SaaS and optimizing Small Language Models (SLMs) to solve specific, real-world business problems. Whether I'm in a CTO-level leadership role or hands-on with the code, I thrive on building tools that turn complex data into actionable value.
Alvin Voo
I’ve watched the tech landscape evolve over the last decade—from the structured days of Java Server Pages to the current "wild west" of Agentic-driven development. While AI can "vibe" a frontend into existence, I specialize in the architecture that keeps it from collapsing.
My expertise lies in the critical backend infrastructure: the parts that must be fast, secure, and scalable. I thrive on high-pressure environments, such as when I had only three weeks to architect and launch an Ethereum redemption system with minimal prior crypto knowledge, turning it into a major revenue stream.
What I bring to your project:
Forensic Debugging: I don't just "patch" bugs; I use tools like Datadog and Explain Analyzers to map out bottlenecks and resolve root causes—like significantly reducing memory usage by optimizing complex DB joins.
Full-Stack Context: Deep experience in Node.js and React, ensuring backends play perfectly with mobile and web teams.
Sanity in the Age of AI: I bridge the gap between "best practices" and modern speed, ensuring your project isn't just built fast, but built to last.

I've been working at a large software company named Kainos for 2 years, and mainly specialise in Platform Engineering. I regularly enjoy working on software products outside of work, and I'm a huge fan of game development using Unity. I personally enjoy Python & C# in my spare time, but I also specialise in multiple different platform-related technologies from my day job.
You don't need to be technical. Just describe what's wrong and a verified developer will handle the rest.
Get HelpFrequently Asked Questions
What is the smallest screen width I should support?
Design for 320px as the minimum. This covers iPhone SE, older Android phones, and split-screen tablet usage. Test at 320px during development to catch overflow issues early.
How do I find what's causing horizontal scroll?
In Chrome DevTools, add a temporary style: * { outline: 1px solid red; } to see every element's boundaries. The element extending beyond the viewport edge is your culprit.
