Compact/grid viewing mode #1831

Closed Pythagoras-314 closed 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently the cards for mods are quite large, and take up tons of space on the screen. I'm only able to see 3, 4 mods at once without zooming out.

Describe the solution you'd like

As people have suggested on the discord, a potential compact mode could work, as shown in these mockups from the discord.

To save more space, just the icons for a category or statistic could be displayed, compared to the icon and text. For example, instead of "fabric" next to the icon, it could just be the icon and you'd hover your cursor over it to display what it is. For statistics (downloads, follows) having the number displayed next to it would still be optimal. As for long descriptions or tons of categories, having a "..." icon that you click on to display the rest of the info (either by expanding the mod's card a bit or a popup widget) would be optimal.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Other than that, implementing the just-icon system below to regular viewing mode is an option, but it hinders its purpose of displaying more info in trade for taking up space.

modrinth/knossos#363 has probably the most compact view, but that's kinda because it uses the whole width instead of having a filters panel

Gallery and grid view has been added in modrinth/knossos#773 and can now be seen in resource packs and shaders by default https://modrinth.com/resourcepacks

I know we don't have a compact mode exactly, but I hope grid mode satisfies this issue for the most part. Gonna close.
