Make the overall design of the browse page more compact and dense

Created on 15 November 2024, about 1 month ago

Problem/Motivation

Two or three weeks ago I've done an impromptu user test, asking attendees of the Drupal Dojo Austin about their first impression about certain parts of Project Browsers browser page. For the reference, that nights attendees were @rocketeerbkw and @cutehair. When looking at admin/modules/browse their first overall impression was, that there is way too much white space on the browse page. On a 16" screen only the first half of the first row of module cards is above the fold:

But also on a larger screen you only get 1,5 rows of cards above the fold. I've placed the screen next to the plugin browser screen in wordpress. there you get three full rows of modules in contrast:

attendees considered the wordpress one more compact and better in comparison. the cognitive load on the wordpress plugin browser is lower.

Ha! Leslie has been screaming about this for a while, too! And we didn't have an issue for it. Curious if a lot of this space is coming from us or is default from Claro. I'm hoping it's us so we can change it rather than UNsetting Claro.

i am adding this issue as related since it is also about makeing the information more compact and condensed. this issue here is about the card view the linked issue about the list view of the browse page.

Definitely agree that the search options currently take far too much space.
