I feel like there's an in-between we're not talking about, that would look a bit less like a shareware site from the early 00s, used more than 30% of my screen, and would work on my phone, but isn't the modern mess of megabytes of JS bundles for a static landing page. It could load in 35-50ms, too, I wouldn't mind.
- indymike 3y agoIf you are looking for Pegasus mail on a mobile device, I think you might be a wee bit outside of the target market. And btw, Pegasus is a shareware site from the 1990s.
- folkrav 3y agoWhy do you make the assumption that people running, or interested in running Pegasus, would not read things on their phone?
- washadjeffmad 3y ago"Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but nothing left to take away." I value negative space in the same way that my dream is not to pile my plate with as much as I can at a buffet.
- thfuran 3y agoThat's nice, but I value text that renders at a legible size more than I value leaving the majority of my screen empty. This layout isn't effectively using negative space, it's just wasting the entire screen. At least on mobile.
- drivers99 3y agoOn mobile I just use two thumbs to zoom in to the column I want to read.

- toomim 3y agoThe mono-thumbed can always double-tap the desired column, and thumbless folx can use their nose.

- folkrav 3y agoYou're free to call that "negative space", it's still 70% of my screen that's just blinding white, and 30% that's a tiny, non-responsive column layout. You call it perfect, I call it annoyingly empty and bad usability on mobile.
- nathell 3y agoA lot of sites from https://512kb.club/ https://512kb.club/ are like that.
- thesuitonym 3y agoWhy does it need to take up more than 30% of your screen? And what's wrong with your phone? It works perfectly fine on mine.
- scblock 3y agoLegibility and usability. Like many old sites this one uses small fonts, small elements, and has tiny targets. Especially when working on a large display. I make liberal use of Firefox's zoom feature to compensate, but better defaults don't hurt. And yes it works on a phone as you can easily zoom in, but inclusion of responsive design, e.g. moving the sidebar to a footer, and use larger fonts would significantly improve legibility and usability. This is not incompatible with a simple and fast-loading site.
- folkrav 3y agoI guess we have very different definitions of "works perfectly". Sure, the page displays as intended, if that's what you mean. Tiny 3 pixel high links are neither accessible nor very usable.
