Please confirm the following.

What parts of Modrinth is your feature request related too?

App

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

I hate having to look and observe my modpacks through a list as well as browse and search for mods through a list. I wish there was a way to configure it just like Curseforge like how you can change it to tiles which are much easier on my eyes and also look prettier and also when browsing for mods. And is the one feature Modrinth is lacking before I can fully commit to using the app and ditching Curseforge for good.

Describe the solution you'd like

My solution is having a configuration switch between tiles and list ui format just like Curseforge. For both when you're in your project and when you're browsing for mods in the app. Preferably maybe there could also be a option as well for boxy icons and squares with rounded corners. Here I've provided some mock-up images and also examples from Curseforge to show what I mean

Describe alternatives you've considered

I don't really have any other alternate solutions to this problem other than making the UI not feel like you're doom scroll or having options for how you can navigate the app.

Additional context

I really like your app however having a ui that doesn't really show much on your screen and have the mods take up half of screen space is isn't really efficient. By having a way to choose what ui suits people the best like Curseforge will improve the experience of the app drastically.

Also I forgot to mention but having a way to change the size of the tiles like in curseforge would be greatly appreciated and is basically required for this feature.

Also here's a concept for the mod browser. Image
