People keep pushing for preferences instead of better defaults. Don’t ask for things to be made configurable, ask for them to be improved!
This post was prompted by someone asking for a *breakpoint* in an app to be made configurable, since they experienced the point at which the layout changed as an inconvenience. These are such minor details that you should not be afraid to assume that they might just be badly set up by default. Open an issue, explain the problem, propose *changes*. Don’t put the burden of fixing the app onto everybody using it.
@bragefuglseth on a slightly unrelated not, I feel like AdwNavigationSplitView should have an option that makes it possible to resize the sidebar. would be useful for apps like builder where the sidebar also hosts a good portion of the overall content
@vixalientoots Builder is an exception because the file names can get quite long. I still think it’s still a compromise, though. I find the resizable sidebar to be a hassle when I resize the window.
@bragefuglseth Defaults are knowingwhat the majority of your users want or use, either through Analytics or i think much simpler would be to survey users or provide option for feedback, with option for feedback the only thing that is typically missing is a feedback loop so a user has no idea if their comment has been read is being worked on, or is ignored
