First time someone's asked for the site to be wider! I have it setup so on a wide screen the text is still a readable width, do you think it needs to bump up that max width a bit more?

I've found the models are so good at Playwright that I don't consider Selenium any more. Rodney is my first experiment not using Playwright.

I second the request to make the site responsive. When I load the page the CSS constrains the main content to 560px and the whole page is constrained to 940px. Here's how it displays on my system:

Your tastes are your own, and there is an argument for just filling the window, but you won’t find a typographic authority that advocates setting body text much wider than that (and I would agree with them).

Can you take a screenshot of some other site that is wider but has a comfortable reading width for you?
