Honestly, no.
I find HN comments practically unreadable because of the lack of wrapping. The default render width of a tweet is perfectly reasonable. Maybe you could extend it out to the width of a substack or medium post.
But there's nothing natural about stretching a sentence out across 800 horizontal characters. It's just miserable on a good monitor.

- whimsicalism 4y agoI guess I should have just said wider, not necessarily full width. The current experience is incredibly narrow and bad on desktop.
- justsomehnguy 4y agoThanks, no. If needed I can resize my FullHD browser window to the half-width. If someone decided what I can' have more than N characters on the line - it doesn't matter if I have a FullHD, UWXHDA or whatever monitor - I just CAN'T do anything (aside of Ctrl+A, CTrl+C, Ctrl+V in Notepad/gedit/whatever).
