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:

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.

One of these days, there’s gonna be great name that I’d love to use. Like this one will work on a duo collab I’m working on. Is asking permission enough?
