[UX Suggestion] Responsive Tablet / Large Screen Layout #386

I've been using Daily You on a tablet recently and noticed that the current UI appears to mostly scale up the phone layout directly. On wider screens, some elements — especially the calendar grid — become extremely stretched, leaving a large amount of unused space and making the layout feel slightly fragmented.

Since more users may eventually use Daily You on tablets, foldables, or desktop-sized Android devices, I wanted to suggest a possible long-term UX improvement regarding large-screen responsiveness.

One idea could be introducing a responsive multi-column layout once the screen width exceeds a certain breakpoint, following common Material Design / tablet UI patterns.

For example:

  • Left panel: quick navigation / tabs
  • Center panel: calendar or timeline view in a more compact form
  • Right panel: statistics preview, gallery preview, or contextual information

The writing/editing screen itself could still remain immersive and full-screen for focus.

Why I think this fits the app well:

  • It reduces wasted whitespace on large displays
  • It keeps the interface compact and information-dense
  • It improves multitasking and navigation efficiency on tablets/foldables
  • It follows standard responsive layout patterns rather than introducing unusual UI behavior

This is absolutely not an urgent request — just a long-term UX idea since I noticed tablet optimization hasn't really been discussed yet.
