I just checked my password manager vault and I currently have 311 passwords stored there.

Yeah I didn’t really enjoy prim and proper corporate Colbert. His show was pretty mediocre. I believe it was also his decision to step away from his original persona and move on to a standard talk show host, so he actually wanted that change. Ferguson is still the GOAT for me.

I absolutely understand if multi-column view is not in your design plan. So yeah really, just maximizing space is what I'm after in a desktop UI. Great work on blorp, and I'm looking forward to see its progress! I also have the mobile client and I'm playing around with it on my piefed account.

Hey. Not knocking on the blorp desktop version at all, it looks good! The main thing I'm looking for in desktop browser UIs is taking advantage of screen real estate and not leaving a lot of dead space. Similar to how old reddit is compared to new reddit and how the default UIs for lemmy and piefed really fill up the available space. One tab browsing is also a good feature IMO.

For example, Alexandrite can look like this:

And Voyager's tablet mode, while not really optimized for desktop, also works somewhat:

“thought”

Yeah I'm aware that Alexandrite hasn't been updated for a while. Anyways, I checked out Voyager on a desktop browser and the tablet mode view is pretty similar. And since the devs are working on piefed compatibility, I think this will do for now until a better one comes.

First time of heard of SoundCloak. Pretty cool.

Nothing deep really, just that more clients means more options to choose from. It also helps innovation as developers get ideas from other clients to improve theirs. The lemmy app explosion 2 years ago was a fun time as there were a ton of clients with their own design philosophy to choose from. Also, I browse lemmy/piefed on a desktop browser 80% of the time, so it's great to see desktop UI alternatives. For example, Alexandrite is optimized for desktop browsing and it maximizes screen real estate compared to the default lemmy UI. I see blorp has a browser UI as well, however it seems to still be optimized for mobile browser viewing.

Yeah sorry didn't notice web is also listed there. It's still kinda designed for mobile browsers though. I hope we can get a proper front-end for desktops in the future, like Alexandrite.

Great, thanks. I've been meaning to move over to piefed but was waiting for more clients to come out. Do you know if there are any good desktop browser front-ends?

What is it?

I'm not intelligent enough to understand this fully, but wow that's sadly ironic.
