Agree. But we could say tthe same thing in the opposite direction: if you need more information on your screen, just use scaling and font settings :)

That’s great. And if something is comfortable for you to use, it doesn’t mean it would be comfortable for the majority of other people.

Maybe you use large screen(s). Maybe your information is not important and/or the interface doesn’t require actions. Context matters.

As a user of 13-inch 2560x1600p screen, I definitely can say that apps need more whitespace to be usable. I’ve also been using 2 monitors 27-inch each some time ago. And yes, such a configuration allows for a greater density of information on the screen.

That’s why I say (again): information density must be comfortable for humans. In their contexts of course.

Information density MUST be suitable for humans. Usability and productivity both have nothing in common with amount of clicking and scrolling required.

Just imagine making your font size something about 5px. And 1.0 as a line height. Sounds good, isn’t it? There ia so much information displayed on the screen.

I have two rhetorical questions:

• are modern devs really unable to do something that work NOT in the browser?
• why every dev is about to invent its own - incompatible with the whole other world - protocol?
