imo the trend of websites adding more spacing (padding) as the years go by is annoying, so I decided to do something about it. I hope this to become a manually curated, collaborative effort, but so far the 500 lines CSS are for GitHub, GitLab, Reddit and Twitter only.

I am also not super sold on capping max width. My personal take is, if text gets unreadable for you on a 27 inch screen, then don't buy a 27 inch screen, or at least resize the browser window accordingly. I haven't grasped yet why anyone would want to have a large widescreen display/window for reading text, I think it's only counterproductive.
That is admittedly a rather egoistic take though, and insane screen resolutions are seemingly becoming the norm now, so I don't know what to do.
The problem with whitespace (or also colored whitespace) is in my opinion a true problem on mobile devices too. The ratio between available information and screen estate is oftentimes very off.
I wonder what they’re thinking when they start a screen share to push so few pixels of content.
