Description

Heya,

There is a huge blank area on the right of the text.

If that space was used, the description of the add-ons wouldn't be too cluttered.

Could it be improved?

Thanks!

@topotropic is this something we want to consider for the listing page refresh?

context: there's a max-width currently for text content on the listing page.

[diox]

There are 2 max-width at play:

• One on the description itself (https://github.com/mozilla/addons/issues/10517)
• One added afterwards on the box/column

IMHO I agree that we don't need both and could remove the one on the description. It would look slightly better and we'd still have a max to prevent the text from being too wide.

[willdurand]

At 700px we show the card in full width and we don’t apply the max-width on the content itself, so yeag I feel like we can get rid of the max-width n the description itself.

[diox]

The fix for https://github.com/mozilla/addons/issues/15463 will fix this too (though we are planning to completely redesign the page anyway).

@eviljeff

Ahhhhh… sorry… Thanks!

[ioanarusiczki]

@marcoagpinto Yes, I didn't mention it's on a testing server currently. After 01.05.2025 it will go to production.

This is a preview https://addons.allizom.org/en-US/firefox/addon/british-english-dictionary_tes/ for what's coming, there has been another change for developer comments, they merged with description, that's https://github.com/mozilla/addons/issues/15463
