Keep it defaulted your indented way but at least give the user the choice like Mona does. To let the user customize the app in a hundred different other ways but not allow that is a fail to me by Ivory. Their literal reason was they felt that made it feel to much like reading from a newspaper and they didnt like that. Well I’m not them and it’s exactly the way I like it so onto greener pastures ;) (2/2) @jonikorpi

  • @kvenden Yeah, it's good to provide options! But just so you understand why these choices are sometimes made: users don't usually know about things like wide spans of text being bad for readability (it's not their job after all), but they feel the negative effects of it anyway, and may stop usage and leave bad reviews because of it. Every option is also a little extra maintenance burden. But… I also just went to check what the max width is, and at least on macOS the width seems to be unbounded?
