I have always assumed that people like to use at least most of their screen's real estate if not all - what is your reason for liking narrow windows (especially considering that I think even nowadays on most of the web the experience would be degraded)
Multitasking. Watching videos, writing something up, having another website open, messaging, Skype, or anything else you can think of while browsing. Having two windows open side by side isn't abnormal and is one of the main reasons why window managers even exist instead of desktops using a mobile-like UI paradigm where you can only have one program on the screen at a time. Counter question: why would you want someth…
I guess I don't actually believe in multitasking.

#23I found signup and initial use to be quick and easy - no email or confirmation, etc. The output does not respect carriage returns / newlines ... so while this HN post has multiple paragraphs, a similar input at "Shout It" would have this all run together with no newlines...
Thank you for the feedback! We will work on that over the weekend. I understand that it is an issue not being able to format the text.

#25As of typing it has a few hundred spam posts from user “a”. Needs work

#26Aside from the large signup box, the “shouts” tend to just be gibberish for me. Is the site currently being hacked?

I can divide my screen among several windows to perform one task.
The most obvious example for me is coding. Terminal, code editor, browser running the code locally.
Even when I want to have a break and check HN I prefer to open another tab on the non-fullscreen browser for an easy transition to and from the break.

You never have to refer to something else while working on something? Like having docs or help on what part of the screen while programming?

#30Agh! Same thing happens to every anonymous chat app on show HN. It degraded into “your mum lolz” and “” etc.
