Issue is the category bar or the padding aroudn "new listing, ..."?

fatlotus commented 8 years ago

I guess both... the whole thing has some wonk. dammit

georgeteo commented 8 years ago

Padding is my bad.

Thoughts on a good way of dealing with category overflow when the width of the page is not quite short enough to do to the full mobile view?

Some thoughts:

Truncate category names
Do the mobile view earlier
Two rows

fatlotus commented 8 years ago

Yeah, I honestly don't know. The mobile view is already a little weird — so maybe (3)? But then we'd have three regimes rather than just two.

tranv94 commented 8 years ago

Thoughts on using a dropdown menu, like amazon's, for desktop?

And for mobile, maybe a dedicated page for categories via button?

georgeteo commented 8 years ago

Yeah I was thinking like a sidebar that comes out when a button is pressed. Was going to do it as part of the polymer migration when I have some time. (Thinking winter break)

tranv94 commented 8 years ago

I'm on winter break now with a surplus of free time, are you working on a separate repository for the polymer integration? I would love to help :)

fatlotus commented 8 years ago

Right now, I'm focused mostly on switching backends (see PR), but that's definitely something we're considering! Talk to @georgeteo

@tranv94: Hi! Let's chat if you're still interested in fiddling around with front end changes. We're thinking react + semantic UI. (I've FB messaged you.)
