Community Platform Update: Wider content!

We’ve received a lot of feedback that the content on the community doesn’t make good use of the available browser space. So, we’re making it wider!


Previously, the content within posts was constrained to a maximum of 600 pixels, following UX best practices of ~80 characters per line to make the content easily scannable.

Based on your feedback, we’ve expanded the maximum content width to 720 pixels - a 20% increase. Hopefully this will feel less awkwardly narrow, while still remaining readable.

P.S. We also fixed some bugs with this release. For example, now you won’t see this odd layout on blogs on mobile:

"Views" & "Comments" were smushed! Not any more."Views" & "Comments" were smushed! Not any more.
