On this day 25 years ago, Bertrand Piccard and Brian Jones became the first to fly non-stop around the world in a balloon. They suffered multiple mechanical failures through their flight, resulting in a icy cold trip that was definitely not fun but historic nonetheless.
By the way, how do you like my new two-column layout? Since we’re very visual-focused, it makes sense to present Fedia’s thumbnails at their full 390x390 size. I still need to make it look better on small displays like phones, and I’m thinking I’ll allow more columns on wider displays. It’s too bad my CSS doesn’t federate to any other instances and isn’t used when browsing by tag.

@hitstun@fedia.io that’s certainly impressive to be able to do that with CSS layered on top of the site. Perhaps there’s some stuff we can do to make it easier for you (like options for grid layouts). I’ve been working on using horizontal space more in places like shown in the images under the expand section this comment. Perhaps similar could be done for the articles themselves
@e-five@kbin.run Oh wow, thank you! I didn’t realize I had an Mbin developer in the crowd here. I come from Old Reddit where CSS is all we had to work with. People pull off some sorcery with CSS, such as /r/GlobalOffensive’s and /r/LeaguePBE’s sidebar craziness and /r/AdamNeely’s transparent background. It’s a shame my CSS doesn’t federate to other instances, so it’s only possible to see it on my own instance.
A few things would help, though:
