user curated block galleries #95

Open enjalot opened 8 years ago

enjalot commented 8 years ago

a logged in user could create gallery pages with some description and a collection of blocks. Adding blocks to the page would be done by pasting in any relevant url for a block (gist, block, blockbuilder, just the UUID etc.) the gallery should display thumbnails similar to the user profile page on bl.ocks.org the curator can reorder the thumbnails via drag and drop or by sorting on creation date.

That's everything that I would like to see.

Here are some wants: Ability for (logged in?) users to leave comments on the gallery. Name the gallery Provide Subsections Default to "display mode" that hides the code

related to ideas of tags, tagging, pins, pinning blocks

nbremer commented 7 years ago

Pinning felt like the best option for now :) But one issue I had was that not everybody had thumbnails, or had decent enough thumbnails (properly showing the project), so I had to make my own screenshots. But still, that was only for about 25%, the thumbnails on the other 75% saved me a lot of time :)

good point! it sounds like this has a soft dependency on #171 auto screenshot with gist-snap
