Hear, hear. We need more of this kind of courage to start over from first principles.

Why does my eye need to move more than it needs to?
Why does my screen need to be used less than it needs to? If you're only going to use 1/4 of my screen for your content, you could at least put a cute cat picture in the rest of it or something
Whitespace is for breathing.

That's a hell of a lot of breathing. I don't have that much lung capacity

#44This is a tangent to this post, but... I happen to have a cat named Kiki who looks rather like the mascot for this project. Her health is failing, now. I just spent the night on my living room floor next to her. I'll, likely have to put her down, today. I might use this project to make a memorial page for her. https://ibb.co/7dRCnWrp https://ibb.co/1GWwDKLY
I’m sorry you’re going through this. She’s very cute.
Dedicating a project to her sounds like a great idea.
If you use Reddit, I can also highly recommend the r/petloss subreddit for a bit of “group therapy”. It was very helpful for me a couple years ago.

I'm so sorry. Sending you and Kiki love today.

Oh geez -- we went recently through this with our tuxedo, who sadly passed a few years ago. I am glad you'll be able to give her the peace she needs.
The kiki this software is named after, is an extremely rambunctious rotten kitten whom we adopted after our tuxedo passed away.

Wishing you peace during this time — and thank you for cherishing Kiki as much as you have. A memorial page is a nice way to honor her.

I would like to introduce a wild concept -- browser window is resizable.
Do you think I will resize my browser window just because you fucked up your layout? No, I will leave.
sure, but I prefer this layout to majority of big tech today.
Gives me flexibility and choice and does not punish me with 600px wide content box because majority of users have trouble grasping the concept of window management.

Fair enough, I'd say for niche content it may be okay, but for targeting broader audiences I'd guess you lose many readers with that readability on fullscreen browser windows (what most people will have in front of them while surfing I guess).
