As seen in the screenshot, there’s a lot of wasted space in landscape mode on my tablet. I don’t see this issue in the feed. I’ve only noticed it when viewing it editing posts and comments.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i’d find it much better as it’s more information dense. that’s why apps have preferences.

    but i was just pointing out that there’s definitely a “sensible alternative”

      Fair enough 👍 My main point was really about basic typographic principles, and that (empty) space is fine and often preferable in UI design

        i think it depends

        i mean it looks shitty on my screenshot, but that’s because it’s a phone not a tablet. my eyes can move easier than my thumbs, so i’d rather glance than have to scroll twice as far

        i disagree with empty space usually, but i don’t disagree that it would be better filled with, say actionable buttons rather than text that needs to be read
