Feature Request: Simplified Card Ratings #59

Open tylermurry opened 5 years ago

It would be very helpful to have the card rating information colocated with the card image to simplify the experience. Very rough sketch, but something like this:

By getting rid of the lower third, this would allow the cards to be bigger and more readable.

I would be happy to collaborate on this if you feel like the feature is meaningful.

We can't actually get rid of the lower third though as we still need to show the current set of picks. We could however make the entire 'Picks' area more collapsable. For example, it should be shown as single stack of cards on the right in collapsed mode and a full width variation (as it is now) in expanded mode. Not a super-trivial change but that would address the card size problem.

In terms of showing the ratings, I think you'd need to marry this with a feature to turn the ratings on and off explicitly for each pack (the idea behind the ratings is not to have them always be visible but instead to turn them on optionally when you want more insight/help or to compare your card evaluation with that of the bots).

I am in the middle of a big project at work so don't have time to dig into either of these right now. You are welcome to take a look but be warned that I might not have much time to contribute (so you might get frustrated if you get stuck trying to figure out how things work, etc.).

Thanks again for the bug report and for the feature ideas!
