An ideal size for sites such as Gitter

[grahamperrin]

1. 1 review the ideal size for GitHub; and then

2. maybe have the same preset for Gitter, e.g.:

• https://gitter.im/gitterHQ/gitter

Matching widths feel not quite right when browsing from Gitter to GitHub – if the left sidebar of Gitter is disclosed before the switch to GitHub.

However with the sidebar closed (focusing on a room, for example) the width feels good and a switch to GitHub with equal width feels equally good.

3. https://llvm.org/docs/AMDGPUUsage.html
4. https://reviews.llvm.org/D69915

You might have the same preset for sites for 1, 2 and 4 but not for 3.

Sorry, maybe scrub the Gitter suggestion.

• automatically expands the sidebar to the left and presents another sidebar to the right.

The effect is debatably too squashed:

Without the chrome, a shot from Firefox:
