Feature Request: Card view width setting #63

Love the new card view... for a visual user like me who doesn't really care about high information density as much as pretty things to click on, it's great.

However, it would be great if there was a setting to control the width of cards. I've been playing around with the CSS and the card feed looks neater to me at 40rem rather than 50rem. Images don't seem so overwhelming at that width, especially images with a lot of height. You end up with more wasted space at that width, especially with the nav bar closed, so it might not be to everyone's taste. Maybe a slider to control the width?

(I've realised that most of my suggestions are taking me one step closer to an implementation of New Reddit's interface... :) )

Not a bad idea! I'll think about it.

Another option is to put some sort of a max on the height of images, maybe no taller than 80% of the height of the screen. I'm not sure yet, could also make that an option.

I also plan someday on making a nicer image viewer for images on posts (like image viewers where you can next/prev through all the images on a product page or something). Maybe I'll work on that around the same time.

I'd like the same for List & Compact modes... The thumbnails go very far to the side and I'd like them to be more centered.
