π«οΈποΈβ¨ Gizmo
: LinkList
#2036
Comments
Here is a brain-dump of half-baked thoughts that I've been carrying around related to this topic:
Having written all of this, I feel like making a new "list of links" gizmo and focusing on that is probably the way to go. Maybe we don't need the "Section" gizmo at all, and we should just delete it and let folks rely on the built-in section navigation until we have this better replacement ready. Thank you for coming with me on this long journey to a strong agreement with Ross' original post. ππΌ |

I am not sure that the images a user will want to add to a link to a section are the same as the ones they'll want to have displayed in a "preview card" or anywhere else. I also don't think that we should limit our users to at most one image per link, which is what OpenGraph dictates. I think it would be better to focus first on building and defining the functionality we want in a configurable "list of links" or "list of sections". If any of the data we end up collecting as part of that ends up fitting the OpenGraph or Schema.org or any of the various other formats for this, then we can expose it in those formats as well pretty easily. |

Yeah, I've also been mulling over the "context for the marketplace" piece. I think we could do it adding an ActionText field, editable from the Marketplace configuration. It would be neat to have a Space-wide "image library", so when you are doing anything that requires an image, like, say, you are configuring a section link, you can choose from a gallery with all the images that have been uploaded to that Space, including, say, all the product images in the contained marketplaces. Not sure if that would scale well, though, and it is certainly not a "must have". All that said, we gotta start somewhere, and starting with making the list of section links more configurable (and to stop linking to the current page forcatssake) is a good place to start. |

@anaulin What aspect of scaling are you worried about? Storage cost? User interface complicatedness? |

I am more worried about the UX. It seems like you could quickly end up with more than a dozen of images in a Space, which would make finding the one you want obnoxious. Although perhaps that could be mitigated by e.g. showing the images in most-recent-first order. It just seems non-trivial |
In Sutty's recent heuristic review of the Convene Marketplace they noted that Piikup's vendor list lacked important visual cues like images and stronger buttons.
While Adding images and allowing button configurations to Sections would be a good start to improving the user experience, the feedback is good cause to consider that the
Section Navigation
gizmo does not allow enough customization for different home page use cases.For example, currently the Section Navigation gizmo does not allow:
Might link list gizmo that allows full customization of title, image, CTA/button, url, card type (new concept) be a better solution for marketplace hosts or similar use cases?
