Flexible nesting of groups #71

Open villanueval opened 7 years ago

villanueval commented 7 years ago

Can the group listing be updated to be more flexible, and granular, by having the option of more than 2 levels? This would make it easier to display something closer to the real taxonomic groupings.

So instead of having:

Vertebrates
- Birds
- Mammals
- Reptiles
- Turtles

We could have something like:

Vertebrates
- Birds
  - Waterfowl
  - Songbirds
- Mammals
  - Marine mammals
    - Dolphins and Whales
    - Manatees and Dugongs
  - Bats
- Reptiles
  - Marine Turtles
  - Non-marine Turtles
  - Snakes

Isn't this where the family comes in?

robgur commented 7 years ago

Family is pretty granular. Order would work better (for me). I'd table this for a bit - needs more discussion.

Agree with @robgur. Needs more discussion. Mobile (or web UX) might be a bit painful.

Was just asking to get an idea of possibilities for future development. Will leave for later.
