>> whitespace on modern UIs ... Usability
Here here! But you're understating it.
Less information dense, and smaller fonts is an appalling use of type, and layout. These first principals about type, font, page layout, they are about readability, and scalability...
We have 600 years of printing, of typography to lean on. Thats 600 years of refinement on line length, spacing and size. The human eye didn't evolve in the last two decades all these lessons still apply!
- karmakaze 3y agoAll that would make sense if I were reading the page but here I'm scanning the titles to find the few stories of interest in a forest. Optimizing for scanning shouldn't require so much scrolling and Load more.
- howrar 3y agoI don't think it's possible to make everyone happy here. I find it a lot faster and easier to scan the titles when there's more whitespace between them. If they're too close together, I'll end up constantly losing my place and rereading the same ones multiple times, or accidentally read two lines at the same time. I can't be the only person with this problem.
