Off-topic but does Google Plus offer any way to view a post nearly full-screen, without all the extra margin and white space taking up 2/3rds of the screen?
A bit annoying that the post text only takes up about 33% of my available screen real estate, even on the "view single post" URL: http://cl.ly/image/1p1B2o3D262g http://cl.ly/image/1p1B2o3D262g
- naitbit 14y agoPersonally for longer page browsing I pivot my screen vertically, zoom and scroll to make content fit my screen. It may not be fastest way but gets job done. It works better on Google plus then on some other pages(were some toolbars obfuscates content on zoomed page, or which get to wide for screen). On non pivoted screen I usually have browser only on left halve on the screen and do it same way. There may be some plugin that would fit you more though.
- vorg 14y agoYou're lucky you can view any of it. In China nothing from gplus arrives.
- technomancy 14y agoThat's called a blessing in disguise.
- danielweber 14y agoWhen I page-down, I have to scroll back up a few lines because the border is eating too much of the visible screen. :(
- brown9-2 14y agoThis is a major annoyance as well. Long-form posts have a poor reading experience on Google Plus.
- why-el 14y agoIts also interesting to know that Readability, which I use to format anything i want to read, cant parse this, so I am stuck reading in this unfamiliar (to me) format. Update: Safari's reader, however, worked just fine, and it looks fabulous.
- justanotheratom 14y agoI am a Google Plus hold-out and it is sad to see that I am required to signup for Plus to read Yegge's blogs now.
- natrius 14y agoDid you click the link? I can read it in both an incognito window and logged in to a Google account without Google+.
- justanotheratom 14y agoFunny its working now. Thanks for pointing out. Do you know what the default Plus policy is - are posts public by default or the other way around?
- natrius 14y agoNo idea.
- mvgoogler 14y agoIt is completely up to the author. When you post something you choose the set of circles you want to share the post with. One of the choices is 'public'. There isn't really a default for this. When you open the sharebox, the set of circles is pre-populated based on who you've shared with recently.
