I've been using Jerboa for that reason. Condensed information so I'm not constantly scrolling.

What's Connect look like for you?

Might be a hold over from Reddit is Fun but I can't say I'm keen on the way the voting is displayed there. Seems to take up too much real estate maybe?

Either way, I'm not a fan of colouring certain text or the lines dividing each post. Both these things make is too busy for my taste.

Then again, maybe I'm just bland.

Here's what posts look like in my compact configuration of Jerboa:

I haven't used Jerboa in ages because of how buggy it was in the beginning, but that looks very pleasing to me as well. So many of the apps out there just look too "busy" for me. I am also coming from Reddit is Fun, so I like as simplistic looking an app as possible. Voyager fills that role for me and fixed the bugginess issues I had with Jerboa.

I'm sure Jerboa is much more stable now, but I just haven't had a reason to leave Voyager yet.

A big difference I find is having the separations be padding and not a line. Even if each option took up the same number of pixels, the line makes it too visually crowded.

I'll give Voyager a go and see how it is.
