  • As a UI/UX designer myself (hobbyist, to be clear), I really like it.

    There seems to be this notion in the homebrew/FOSS/Linux community that “wasted space” is always non-preferable. I can see this being true for some people, but I feel like a lot of people and band wagoning this opinion.

    It’s pretty universally known and accepted in the design community that padding is extremely important when it comes to helping your brain read and separate content. And to be fair, most non-tech people prefer space and padding in their applications to make things easier to understand.

    I can be entirely off base here, but TLDR: I like padding and it’s literally beneficial to helping your brain understand the layout of what you’re looking at better.


  • Valve is truly one of the last respected game companies. Sure, they make a lot of money and take a 30% cut from developers on Steam, but because of how satisfied their users are, they keep coming back and keep buying more games, which is a win in the long term. Too many companies think short-term or quarterly while Valve seems to look at the big picture. I give a lot of credit to Gabe for not truly selling out at any point. And if it hasn’t happened by this point, I don’t see it happening in the future. It would have happened by now if so.
















  • I’ve been trying it out. Of course there’s still a bit of polish to add, but the overall look and feel is exactly what I was looking for in a Lemmy reader app. Simplistic, large, clear text. I really love how the action/respond buttons dont appear until you tap the comment. Super intuitive.

    The only thing missing is 0.18 support, which isn’t really a complaint considering it just started rolling out earlier today. That’s what I get for being on the bleeding edge I guess.
