Better 'active state' for selected city #24

Open hisnameisjimmy opened 7 years ago

Hi there, I gave some feedback on this stuff inside Kickstarter, but I'm happy to do it here as well. The changes you made for adding cities are great, and now I have more :)

Right now the active state for a city is a bit confusing, as the bold 'active' state looks identical to the titles for different menu areas.

I think in addition to highlighting the active city in a way that appears different from Titles, we could have a heading title above the events that showed the city you are in so that it's obvious without looking at the menu or at the details of any events.

Also, I just want to throw this in the hat, I'm a UI/Product designer, and I'd be happy to help out on this project if you guys are open to it. I also have a sysadmin background from a previous life, so if you need help setting this project up so that it quickly installs a vagrant system with just a bash script I could do that too.

If you're interested in seeing my interface work, let me know.

Thanks for the feedback! "Latest" and "Future" aren't titles, they're active filters. I could add headings in a different style for "Sort," "When" and "Where" — that might clear that up. I think linking to the selected location at the top of the page is a great idea, I'll take a pass at it.

I would absolutely love any help you're willing to offer. It's literally just me. 👍

Cool, I don't have a huge amount of free time, but I'd love to play around with this. I'll see what I can contribute in the form of PRs.
