Good morning everyone. How are you today?
🇳🇱
@n0btc Doing very well here, yourself?
@freemo doing well. Really liking pinafore.
@n0btc Nice, been hearing a lot of good things about pinafore
@freemo yeah. Its a really good ui and has great accessibility for screen reader users like myself.
@n0btc I will have to check it out sometime. I know our other moderator @design_RG talks about it and likes it too.
@design_RG
sent my agreement from Pinafore. i like it too🐘

sorry, I do not quite understand what does panels pina mean here, would you mind describing more details?
Sure, not a problem.
Pinafore displays Toot and notifications in a single vertical Panel, similar to the default Mastodon Web client in that sense.
What you see in your own Pinafore, it's a single vertical Column, a Panel of information.
And on my 1600 pixels wide screen - sh1t, there's SO MUCH wasted space, not even funny.
That is the main reason I don't use Pinafore exclusively. It is light, fast, has great features and as i mentioned, it's for Elite Users. I have about 10 instances fully configured -- and can switch from one to another with ONE click. No kidding.
But... Proper use of a wide screen display is something I have lifted the flag for sometime ago. That Topic is from December, 2019.
I went in person to Mastodon.social and wrote to Eugen there -- showing my ideas. He saw and briefly commented, but he has too many things on his plate already.
My current solution is using the mastodon web client BUT --- Turbo enhanced to max performance and Space usage.
What hopefully someday main stream Mastodon could be.
See 800 pixels screenshot here, attached. Full size, 1600 pixels wide -- for details --> https://i.postimg.cc/02Hj4jhS/Masto-AWI-RG.jpg
Notice a few things :
* NO wasted space at sides!
* TWO large, Wide panels, which can display Local and Notifications, or any other combination you like.
* See the BIG Toot Editor, where I am writing this mega reply?
Yeah, that's a Tool for Writers. 😃
I can't live with the limitations of regular vanilla clients. Need Power Tools, for productivity.
#QotoJournal is adequate, this is an Important discussion to have #mastodev #mastodon #UI
Recipe for above described Setup?
Discourse Forum topic with details and illustrations : https://discourse.qoto.org/t/setting-up-the-advanced-web-interface-for-mastodon-full-use-of-wide-screens/150/3
* I am using here mastodon WebClient in AWI mode enabled.
* and the Total Screen use is made possible by the Collapsed Mastodon Add-on for Firefox, (also available for Chrome).
* which is what give me the oh-so-great freaking BIG Reply box. Under Every Post I need. It won't be so large, by default, but it EXPANDS as I type away.
Good ideas deserve to be Seen. Wish Eugen would consider those. Collapsed Mastodon is on a Git repository, it's open sourced too.
I made a Discourse Forum post with the Same content as the post above, but Enhanced Formatting that makes it easier and more pleasurable to read.
@Sphinx
Please forgive my long tirade, Robot Pirate, it's just that it is a passion issue for me.
Now copied and formatted nicely in Discourse, and it will be on my Blog soon - I love it as my platform of choice for Content Production.
