Please if you ever succeed in any timeless design, please don't make it like the linked article.

It's horrible, it takes like 1/4th of the screen horizontally, with majority of the space taken by the blank spots.

I don't know why people nowadays make everything look awful so it looks "the same" on all devices.

Please don't do that. It makes it more difficult to estimate the length of the text, it's irritating since you need to scroll constantly and it looks bad.



The link posted above is an AMP link. Maybe try removing the AMP? It looks like it uses about 2/3 of the browser width that way, much better.

Also, about blank spots: do you mean in between the sections of text? Maybe is an issue with the [goddamn] lazy-load graphics?


I mean the page layout. A single very narrow column and a lots of unused space all around it. I have full sized screen, I shouldn't be constrained as if I was on mobile.

EDIT: you are right, it's the AMP version which makes it like that, without /amp it looks like normal web page.
