Responsive column sizes #249

Open aso1124 opened 4 months ago

aso1124 commented 4 months ago

The current fixed width is actually kind of narrow, and a standard 4-5 column flow will probably have a bunch of white space. It would be ideal to have the columns resize more responsively. I think we should at least widen the default fixed width (almost any step name will be truncated at the current width, and it seems unnecessarily narrow.

The truncated step names are a bit of a problem ... we might want to ditch the federico-era 3-step layout, or possibly look at wrapping over two lines before truncating (which i don't think is actually a thing lol).

You can see in the example (especially in the second stage) that the narrow fixed column width, three-steps per line and severe truncation can strip a lot of intuitive meaning from the flow.

Temporarily applied new sizing behaviour: wider default columns and max 2 steps per row. Ideally this would be properly responsive.
