A mobile client for Lemmy running on iOS and Android
As seen in the screenshot, there's a lot of wasted space in landscape mode on my tablet. I don't see this issue in the feed. I've only noticed it when viewing it editing posts and comments.
That the content has a max-width is a good thing. Lines that are too long are hard to read. And going by your screenshot your alternative would be to stretch it all the way over the viewport? No way
Yes, I think there should at least be an option for it to use the full width. When holding the tablet with hands on either side, it's really obnoxious (and even physically painful sometimes, depending on inflammation) when every UI element to interact with is wedged into the middle with half the screen space unused, forcing you to stretch out you hands for your thumbs to reach.
Why are you holding your tablet with two hands? One hand on the back one hand use finger.
Why were those iPhone users holding the phone in whatever way was comfortable to them instead of limiting what part of the physically touchable chasis that happened to also be part of the antenna?
I'll hold the device in whatever manner and orientation is most comfortable for me at the time. And want the apps I use to least have the option to utilize the screen fully.
You could also argue UI elements close to the edge of the screen are a bad idea holding your Tablet in landscape since you could fat finger on them.
