I thought user should have the "key" for their sent messages. Re-encrypting is possible, but not privacy aware. It could be a separate service similar to IRC/Slack.
On Linux you can use Dash to Panel on left side of the screen. Same can be done on Windows to save vertical space. 16:10 is a lot better for content creation, 16:9 is for content consumption.
I don't mind the extra click if I get two nice looking and easy to use screens. Right now the trade-off is not worth it, because a) I save myself the click, but everything is so crammed together that I can barely make sense of it (more so because the information in the 2 different columns are completely unrelated -- they are 2 different feeds) and b) I lose the leads below the headlines, which were actually quite nice.
@lucian Sorry for the blunt feedback, but that 2-column layout on artificial feed is terrible. It was super simple and clean, now it's a mess. Barely usable on mobile too. The leads under the headlines, which were essential to provide additional context, are gone too. Still hoping this is just a big mistake. Any chance you will roll back the changes?
Oh, sorry. I didn't know you read it. Can you give it some time? I can bring the old layout back, but you can see the latest news without an extra click.
