Hey. Not knocking on the blorp desktop version at all, it looks good! The main thing I'm looking for in desktop browser UIs is taking advantage of screen real estate and not leaving a lot of dead space. Similar to how old reddit is compared to new reddit and how the default UIs for lemmy and piefed really fill up the available space. One tab browsing is also a good feature IMO.

For example, Alexandrite can look like this:

And Voyager's tablet mode, while not really optimized for desktop, also works somewhat:

Yeah that’s totally fair. I think that’s a slightly different vision than what I’m going for, but a totally valid design. Personally the multi column feed and post at the same time isn’t for me, but I understand why people like it. I think Voyager is going to continue to optimize for larger screens. I’ve spoken to the voyager dev a bunch, and I’ve been really inspired by what he’s built.

I absolutely understand if multi-column view is not in your design plan. So yeah really, just maximizing space is what I'm after in a desktop UI. Great work on blorp, and I'm looking forward to see its progress! I also have the mobile client and I'm playing around with it on my piefed account.
