1 month ago here is a mockup of what cast could look like
since the movie is the focus the logo is from the movie, even though we are now in cast
so when someone clicks a cast member. we get
the colours are bad but it's a mockup and you replace with the nice aesthetics and fade look of Nimbus now that the actor has focus the logo is her name, so we know who has the layer 1 focus. the layout and how it will look could be to your taste, it's just wanted to show you a possible way to integrate the extras into your skin , which makes the best of both worlds
then when we press down we get the the extras list for that actor which is movies (for the actor) then pressing down again is the tv shows the only indicator will be the path write down
lot of work but concept is kind of cool, I wonder if you even need tikipeter to do this (if you wanted to) but it would be easier if he had a command to get to those lists right?
just wanted your thoughts on this concept, don't expect you to implement this, also need to wait on Tikipeter is he wants to allow all lists to be viewed outside extras and if he can set a command to get to them
Just want your thoughts on this concept.
Tiki Peter already has enabled two list to be access outside extras (Recommended, collections). I've asked him to allow access to all lists (cast, recommended, more from genres, more from recommended etc) https://github.com/Tikipeter/tikipeter.github.io/issues/64
If he grants this request I had a thought. If Tikipeter can have a command that goes to each list of a movie then Nimbus could use it to do this
Concept -
say we are on this page
user presses down, instead of the wall they go to the first list that is in extras, cast the path changes from Movies >> Trending | Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
to Movies >> Trending | Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga | Cast
now the bio of the actor goes where the plot went. and we get a nice fanart, going left and right we can see other actors.
Now I press down again and the next part in the extras comes up, recommended the path changes to Movies >> Trending | Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga | Recommended something like this
I go left and right like before to browse then if I like a movie and click on it. It doesn't take me to extra but places the movie as a layer 1 on top like this
this is so we can access that movies extra lists.
if I press back it remembers the previous position and I can go down again to access the next extra list
If I press back one more time, it will take me to the original movie list.
Now you combine the aesthetics of NIMBUS with the information that extras provide, it's complete integration and makes browsing for new content way better you can keep the wall functionality by using long press down for that
their is even a possibility you can allow users to set which lists from extras they want included and in which order.
this seems like a big project, but regardless of if you think it's possible or want to take this on, what are your thoughts on the concept?
(P.s. I should have picked another movie for placing it on layer one. that movie by it's own is meant to be a different movie in the list from extra, technically you can't have the same movie as layer one when you go into extras for that movie)
