I know it's bad form to comment on style instead of content, but saying Smartphone enjoyers will want to switch to horizontal mode for this article due to code

I know it's bad form to comment on style instead of content, but saying Smartphone enjoyers will want to switch to horizontal mode for this article due to code samples that barely fit on desktop while having the article text column shrink to less than 1/3rd of the horizontal space just feels disrespectful
- marginalia_nu 2y agoTry refresh? Should cover 60ch, but some browsers bug out when you turn for reasons i don't understand.
- garblegarble 2y agoTried a refresh, a force-refresh... no change at all (Firefox and Chrome)
- marginalia_nu 2y agoInteresting. Android or iOS?
- garblegarble 2y agoDesktop - that's my complaint... you wrote that the code samples "barely fit on desktop", which is only true because your CSS wastes over 2/3rds of the screen width I have provided to my user agent. (it's fine though - I use Reader Mode on such user-hostile sites)
- marginalia_nu 2y agoOh yeah, now I understand. I'm struggling to find a width for the layout that makes sense for text (where narrow columns are preferable), but also for code snippets (where you want wider columns).
- garblegarble 2y agoYou may be overthinking it - most blogs simply allow the text to be the width of the window... your article is very readable in Firefox's Reader Mode, so for what it's worth, my $0.02 is that'd be fine
- SebastianKra 2y agoYep. I have the same frustration with GitHub and GitLab which add 3km of horizontal padding on phone screens for no reason.
