  • As a UI/UX designer myself (hobbyist, to be clear), I really like it.

    There seems to be this notion in the homebrew/FOSS/Linux community that “wasted space” is always non-preferable. I can see this being true for some people, but I feel like a lot of people and band wagoning this opinion.

    It’s pretty universally known and accepted in the design community that padding is extremely important when it comes to helping your brain read and separate content. And to be fair, most non-tech people prefer space and padding in their applications to make things easier to understand.

    I can be entirely off base here, but TLDR: I like padding and it’s literally beneficial to helping your brain understand the layout of what you’re looking at better.





  • I personally use DigitalOcean and find it to be quite user friendly.

    They use what they call “Droplets” to create a VPS. You can have multiple at once and it only charges you for the time you use it, and you can delete add more at any time. They’ll just bill you at the end of the month for the usage.

    What’s nice is that it also has a marketplace, so if you want to spin up a Docker Ubuntu server, or a vanilla Debian server, you can do that with one click.












  • I’ve been trying it out. Of course there’s still a bit of polish to add, but the overall look and feel is exactly what I was looking for in a Lemmy reader app. Simplistic, large, clear text. I really love how the action/respond buttons dont appear until you tap the comment. Super intuitive.

    The only thing missing is 0.18 support, which isn’t really a complaint considering it just started rolling out earlier today. That’s what I get for being on the bleeding edge I guess.
