Improve layout suggested #78

Closed NicoJuicy closed 7 years ago

NicoJuicy commented 7 years ago

As mentioned by a user:

The problem with displaying a lot of written content is that it becomes very challenging to parse.

There are two small updates you can make to improve the reading/browsing experience:

Employ a stronger information/type hierarchy. You do have one in place, but you may want to make the headings a stronger weight so they stand out more.
Even better, increasing the spacing between articles. Here's a quick write-up I found on the value of white space: https://www.uxpin.com/studio/blog/ux-case-study-designing-whitespace-to-improve-conversions/

Okay, so to make the layout more clear. I adjusted the following:

[x] Tags are now sorted by Count ( Count = Count of all Items using a Tag)
[x] Max of 3 Tags shown by default, other tags are visible with a click ( blogs sometimes add a lot of tags)
[x] Bigger text size
[x] More white-spacing between lines
[x] The actions ( discuss, ...) are more to the right. So the entire layout is more aligned

Still need to improve the upper menu bar though ( public vs personal) and too busy

Just a thought. Some sites tag galaxy-s6-edge-update, galaxy-s6 and galaxy (mostly android police in combination with smartphones)

The tag should become galaxy. The shortest will be the most popular ( and most interesting/complete for looking up stories). Perhaps it would be appropriate to exclude the other tags from the Top 3 tags shown, to remove further clutter

Currently, more useless tags can be hidden. So i'm not going to implement galaxy-s6-egde auto hide.. It could be distracting for the end-user if i have a lot of those rules. I don't know yet, how to improve the menu... For now, i'm going to close this.
