shows a screenshot with extremely long text lines that are far harder to read than than when the sidebar thing helps keep the lines to a still-too-long-but-not-as-bad length. How does nobody at GitLab realize that you need some max-width or a container or something to keep text line length comfortably readable‽
(the same can be said for Hacker News, but everyone seems to know that it's ugly already)
- Strom 11y agoI imagine the fact that not everybody cares about the length of lines is a factor. I keep hearing people complain about various wide articles, but I've never noticed any problems reading such content myself. Thus having some small max-width definitely isn't a universal requirement.
- Gigablah 11y agoUh oh, here comes the "max-width = readability" cargo cult.
- quadrangle 11y ago"cargo" cult??? Don't you just mean "cult"? How does this have anything to do with cargo cults even metaphorically?
- alextgordon 11y agoThe "cargo" is self-referential, clearly. It's a cargo cult "cargo cult".
- mikewhy 11y agoThere's already a setting for that http://imgur.com/GftE0Wx http://imgur.com/GftE0Wx
- quadrangle 11y agowell, that's something but 1200px width is still way too long for optimal reading of lines at that font size.
- ake1 11y agoit does look like it says MAX 1200...but i could be mistaken.
- quadrangle 11y agoYou're right. And that means the only way to set it to keep text contained less wide than that is to have a smaller browser window.
