MoT Pages have a lot of whitespace

I was checking out this page: 404 Earthly Feeling Not Found | Ministry of Testing
And as you can see there is a LOT of white space while I can still scroll down a bit further to meet the footer. Maybe some of the content should shift? It doesn’t look as nice while only the right side if filled with content while scrolling.

I also noticed the comment panel is not present under there. Is not available under memes?

ad blocker? Just joking

Actually, that page is a scrollable, and looks mostly fine to me.

Made me think of an app my manager was trying to show me, we have these klunky SDI apps all written in various frameworks, so it’s a pain to achieve any kind of uniformity, but they are all forms and all resize nicely , sometime however you get a small form, that looks ugly when it get resized too large.

I actually amazed myself (and him) when I suggested the reason the form should not resize to fill all of the whitespace was actually obvious. the workflow was wrong, and users should not be seeing that form at that point. Turns out we were showing a small form only because 2 buttons on the form were needed, but the rest of the form controls, was irrelevant, lazy coder. We just need to break the form into 2 forms one for each stage in the workflow/wizard. Yeah, so sometimes, whitespace is telling us something, about our design pattern only.

Aah that might be what’s missing :o

Ha imagine :d I do have ad blocker though :rofl:

But yeah it feels so empty

It is a rather minor niggle, I love giving out likes though, so here you go :slight_smile:

We’ll have comments available under there soon (which are only currently available for Memories), we plan to expand comments to all other content types (memes, articles, talks, etc). This may address the whitespace, or in your instance, blackspace. :slight_smile:

I wish we could draw some doodle there to make the MOT Pages more creative from UI/UX perspective.:hugs: :open_hands:
