Reduce post except character length for `/news`

[StevenDufresne]

The designs at full width don't have more than 2 lines.

🤔 I don't see any excerpts in the design that are cut off with a ..., so I wonder if the intent was to have shorter excerpts that are manually added to the editor?

I don't mind the 3 line excerpts, especially for the manually entered ones. But happy to defer.

To help here with thinking behind this.

@iandunn it is my mistake by not providing proper design with ... in the Figma.

I noted this feedback in my previous video feedback. That issue was closed here on GH.

I am ok with 3 lines as well, as long as we limit it to 3. At the moment, we have posts that have first paragraphs no longer than 3 rows. What happens if a paragraph that code pulls for News landing has 5 rows? I believe it will show 5 rows on landing. If that's the case, I'd keep this to 3 rows/lines as people seem to like it more than 2...

Is that already the case, or behavior will pull the first paragraph, no matter its size/rows?

Right now mobile/tablet breakpoints have line-clamp: 2, and desktop doesn't have any limit. We could set line-clamp: 3 on the desktop (or all, if you also want 3 on mobile/tablet).

Let's leave = 2 on mobile/tablet, and on desktop/monitors = 3. Thank you! 🙏

Sounds good 👍🏻
