Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/issues/4247

Description

Changing the size or the margins of the database isn't really functional. Thus there is a lot of padding and wasted space, and with big databases that can be brutal when it adds up.

I just figured out how to make a database be its own page, but that process is a bit hidden.

Also let me have an actual dark mode, not a twilight blue! lol

Impact

I would really love to be able to move fully off of notion and obsidian all into one appflowy vault.

Would you like to enlighten us with your findings? This use case sounds nice.

I have no idea. its been so long. I gave up on Appflowy. The UI just wasn't cutting it, and while I'd still like to try. I haven't seen any update to combat the UI/UX issues

What sort of UI/UX issues do you have in mind? Is it specific to the database related functionality, or the UI in general? cc: @Vivian-appflowy

We have improved the space utilization of inline views and added support for compact mode, which further increases information density.
