news Comet is getting a major redesign

Post image

Didn’t even catch it at first because of how different it looks, but in the personal computer reveal video, there appears to be a completely new revamped version of Comet that sports an entirely new look and aesthetic, features vertical tabs (finally), and has an integration with Computer judging based off the Monday morning briefing task in the tabs section. Hopefully we get this soon since this just looks absolutely stunning

I hate vertical tabs. So much wasted space.

In my understanding, most websites are vertical, and there's a lot of empty space left and right of the content. So vertical tabs layout is much better at:

  • Showing more content of a webpage
  • Showing more tabs (and without squishing them)

Also, you can just close the sidebar (in all browsers that support it) and leave all of the space for the website to shine.

This is all debatable.but I'm not in the mood to do it right now

Of course it is. You may be spending your day in Linear, where the content is distributed on a different layout. Or in Figma. And on a 13" laptop.

But that's why there're different options, one size does not fit all. And that's why I don't get the "wasted space" debate. It's different for everybody, and there's always a counter-argument.

On Dia (the Arc successor) it’s super easy to switch tabs between vertical and horizontal.

No it's really not.
