Index Page for All Stories Available

[Klienriot]

Current stories page as seen in fictioneer demo site is not really convenient when readers want to navigate a site that has 50+ stories around. So, this is just a suggestion but will you consider create a separate stories index page with simple letters-navigation, or a different template for stories page where user can view all stories available at once?

Well, I can certainly do that, but I wonder about the details. Is this supposed to only show the titles, should this be cards or another format? Increases the complexity, or rather the performance cost.

Querying all stories with a huge amount of data can be rather slow, although 50 or even 100 stories would likely not pose an issue, especially if properly cached. In some regards, querying all at once is actually faster, since I do not need to use meta queries to filter the results inside the SQL.

But just displaying a bunch of links isn't particularly useful, no? But 50+ cards is not all that easy to look through either.

How would you envision this?

I only imagined it to be a simple index list without the metadata tbh.

Just for simple navigation of titles arranged in alphabetical list. I guess separate cards by alphabets?

So the most basic version would look like this. Not sure how useful 50+ of these will be, though.

I could also go with something like this:

Yup. That's what I meant. Although an alphabet filter at the top with each letters wld be pretty useful as well.

Will be added with 5.14.0
