Main page is too cluttered #5

Closed Josian2004 closed 1 year ago

Josian2004 commented 1 year ago

The main feedback that I received from both groups was that the site felt too cluttered and overwhelming, there was too much information on the home page and it was too much text to read. They found that they didn't know where to look and that they couldn't find the specific thing they were looking for. This will only get worse when more systems and computers are being added to MCST.

This is going to be a pretty big change so I'm going to reduce the amount of text and simplify some text components to a more visual component, I'm also going to work with things like tooltips so that you won't see all the information all the time but that you can get more details (like seeing the id) when you hover over things.

The second big solution that I received was the ability to collapse systems, that way you can easily select what systems you want to see and hide all the ones that are not relevant for the user.

I've made some major changes to the UI to remove some of the screen cluttering. I still need to add collapsible systems.

I've added collapsible systems, there is a small issue tho and that is when you have 1 system collapsed and 1 system not while they are in the same row then there will be a big gap to the next system. I've tried fixing this but if it really bothers someone then they can fix it their selves and open a pull request :)

I think I have greatly reduced the screen cluttering. If someone disagrees, feel free to reopen this issue and tell me why
