Currently, the application displays icons in a horizontal list within a split view:
Category panel: shows the list of available categories.
Icon panel: displays a row of icons based on the selected category.
Detail panel: shows icon information when an icon is selected.
While this layout works, the row-based list limits the number of visible icons, making visual browsing slower and less intuitive.
Proposal
Proposed change:
Grid view: Change the icon panel to a grid view to display more icons simultaneously, improving visual exploration.
Popup for details: Instead of a fixed detail panel, display icon details in a popup when an icon is selected. This allows for more space to browse icons without losing context.
Benefits:
Enhances user experience by displaying more icons at once.
Makes visual searching more efficient and less tedious.
The detail popup provides a more dynamic experience without overloading the main interface.
