It even has a demo right there on the phone. Also nice to see the version of the latest release at the top. This is the home page at https://www.home-assistant.io/

    Are you being sarcastic? That looks terrible. I hate when websites go for the CVS receipt layout.

    Or did you just zoom way, way out for the screenshot? I’m on mobile so it already looks CVS-receipty.

    Edit: Oh, you did just zoom way out, so I take a lot of that back. Still don’t think it looks great though. Cluttered and just “too much”.

      To each their own, I quite like it. I do get you though, it could make better use of the white space. On the other hand, it fills out my vertical monitor quite nicely:

      The joys of responsive website design I guess.

          Trust me when I say I design my websites with 32:9 being my main development display.

          SUW is my primary “how will this website be fucked in weird and mysterious ways” solver.

            Yup. Same.

            Though I only have 3x 1080p ones so I have to fudge it and size the browser window across multiple monitors lol.

              Lol before I had massive UW and SUW monitors, I actually did a 5x 1920x1080p setup, was just a dome around me.

              At night, I was able to just open a notepad on all monitors and light up the entire room

        Not sure if “CVS receipt layout” is a common term or not, but I’ve used it over the last 10 years or so.

        It describes websites that have massive margins with the content displayed as a thin strip down the middle; everything on the side is just wasted space (or crammed with ads).

        Receipts from the retailer CVS are a known joke where the smallest, single-item purchase will generate a receipt that’s 6 foot long because of all the ads, coupons, and other junk tacked on.

        In the old days, it was a lazy way to make websites work on desktop and mobile. Now, it’s a lazy excuse for not doing responsive design and/or allocating massive amounts of space for ads. I hate it. lol.

        CVS receipt, left, is several feet long and shown next to a tape measure and other, normally-sized receipts.
