When there are a lot of words over an image it's hard to know where to click #157

In an example like this, it's hard to know where to click because there are a lot of words and it looks like all you can do is click on the words.

Came here to log this issue too!

Fix would be to make long titles abbreviate more aggressively, and/or disable showing the creator in search results (as suggested by #127) which would also reduce the amount of text in a result.

Is there a way to make the words hyperlinked? I kept trying to click on the words thinking they would be a hyperlink

lizadaly commented 7 years ago

I couldn't get that to work while still keeping the creator links hyperlinked, which might be another argument against keeping those links.

lizadaly commented 7 years ago

I made some design changes here to tighten things up:

Smaller font size
Truncates title more aggressively
Changed 'Title by Creator' to 'Title, Creator' (to save 3 characters)
Removed the hyperlink to creator
Made the text link to the image detail
Left-aligned the credit (looks better in cases where the image is narrow or it was line-breaking at just one or two words)

There are still a few hyperlink dead spots in the result overlay that might be nice to clean up in the future, but this should be an improvement.
