i swear tech bros are at war against information density. they have a compulsion to waste screen space there is no other explanation

@kirakira it's so infuriating

like, UIs had good information density with 640x480 resolution, or even 80x25 text displays. but now we have 4k displays where most of the space is wasted

granted maximum density isn't always the best, especially with touch interfaces, but we've gone so far in the other direction it's time to get some of our density back

@jiub @kirakira I think this is why TUIs have had a renaissance in the last few years. Dashboards and GUI apps are spread out and filled with empty space for aesthetic purposes. It’s a lot harder (though doable) to screw up the information density of a front-end built entirely from text.
