   its funny how we have to have 27" monitors now rather than 15" ones since all the UI designers have put too much whitespace into all the designs

     @jk i feel like the biggest difference between tech now and tech when i was a teenager is that back then my hardware was always going obsolete because they were adding stuff i wanted, now it's because they're adding stuff i'm trying to avoid

     @jk If you don't do it then Google starts emailing you about your site getting downranked for "too small touch targets"

     is there a browser extension that just like. halves the whitespace in webpages. halves the margin. halves the padding. im just so tired after 10 years of having giant computer monitors and still not being able to fit any actual content on them because the developers have been told to assume everybody uses a touch screen and wears boxing gloves while doing so

     hahaa google's new material design guidelines now feature something called "density". they've finally discovered Density! holy shit. here's a guide on how to "apply density", this glistening new technology that has just been invented, to your UI designs https://m2.material.io/design/layout/applying-density.html#usage

     imagine trying to get any UI person in, say, 2015, to agree that you should have "high-density spacing for use cases where increased density improves the user experience"

     @jk imagine telling a computer user from 2002 that a $100 phone has a higher screen resolution than any laptop they can buy, but it only displays four email subjects at once
