@ricewithabee Agreed this would be nice. As a sidenote I think we may want to consider the dev effort and design effort that go behind these various tasks and prioritize the ones with high value and low effort.
I agree it has to be worth the design/dev work, and in this case I'm not sure how much of those it would entail. It just strikes me very hard that as a user the main reason I don't think I would use the current site is because the lists feel like walls of text, which I guess makes it feel inaccessible/overwhelming and somehow less trustworthy as to its accuracy (gives me the feeling that this list isn't being maintained and so is probably stale).
@melissasamworth any further thoughts on this? Or @plexish and @soerenelverlin
@ricewithabee that's interesting, so signals that the list is maintained are very important, you think?
This task is definitely non-trivial design/dev wise but perhaps worth it. Firstly though, we need an image column in the Airtables, and for someone to fill that out. We also need to make sure whalesync allows us to bring in images. If all that is doable then let's consider it.
Current evidence in favor of more thumbnails
Yeah, I think a classic issue with resources lists is that the creator often maintains them for a while at the start but then eventually does it less and less, causing the list to lose relevance and accuracy. So signalling that these lists are highly maintained/trustworthy seems valuable. For me that's just one reason in favour of adding logos though remember.
Regarding the image column in Airtable:
From a quick google it looks like Whalesync won't have a problem with images.
Since this will entail a fair bit of design/dev work, I think it's worth getting impressions from other users to get their thoughts on this first.
Okay, yeah if you're willing to do the setup and everything, I'll do the design. Let's see what the others think on the call today
Update: this is something Melissa has to do, so top of backburner for now.
Further update: Melissa is keen to do this now
@melissasamworth /jobs has images locked and loaded in the CMS for when you want to throw a design at it
Cool, should finish by EOW. Just copying what I wrote in the other identical task I accidentally created
Bryce will
determine all the pages that should have some sort of image get these images in the airtables make sure whalesync is reading the image columns
Melissa will
create the designs, at the same time as adjusting cards to include labels implement the designs
Update: sorry a bit behind, will show designs tomorrow for review
All good. Images are currently in /communities and /jobs. Working on the other two.
All records in all four databases now have images 👌🏼
Great! Designs are done https://www.figma.com/file/I37tnefBooOLBxrP4qVwMN/AI-Safety?type=design&node-id=672%3A3260&mode=design&t=r2AAc2LoUOMPLSH3-1 , will implement them next week
Closing this and creating a new task for specifically adding the right image on each one
This will make it more engaging and less "wall of texty"
