~~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".

What is a CVS receipt layout? Why do you hate it?

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 7 points 3 days ago

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.

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.

Hey, I pay for those pixels along the sides, so I expect them to get used once in a while ๐Ÿ˜†

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.

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 3 points 4 days ago

Yup. Same.

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

[-] scottmeme@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 days ago

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
