What if your window doesn't span the entire screen? It's a frustrating and common flaw in so many modern websites and apps that they simply do not work unless the app is fullscreen on a widescreen monitor.
For example Discord is borderline unusable if it is one of two windows side-by-side on my laptop, and completely unusable if you have three. This can't even be an unusual case for people on UNIX derivatives using tiling window managers - Windows has had functionality to tile windows like this since 7. Whatever happened to responsive design? See Telegram desktop client for an example of how it should work - the layout actually changes as you resize the window.

- ubercow13 8y agoI assure you there are lots of people who don't use it that way. It probably depends on what circle you end up in on it. There are text-based communities on there related to all sorts of topics. The Rust community was even considering using it as a default communication channel at one point I believe.
