Oddbean new post about login | logout I love masonry for its density, especially on very large screens. Still love it on mobile though (2 columns). It's the default for Pinterest too. https://image.nostr.build/6cd0663b96d0db9961d06592802b04708f6adb1c3bc5e1043c6dfdff5731b531.jpg
And I'm not a fan of text bleeding into images, as you need vignetting or darkening to make it always readable. But yes, personal preference I guess.
Yeah you do on light images. It depends on how users browse. Do they go into a category first and devour everything there? (maybe they dont care to see the text so much). Or do they click hashtag to hashtag and spend a bit of time in each (then it probably matters more). I think it could go either way.
As a photographer I despise any edit of the original image, no matter how slight.
yep, 2 col is great on mobile and I like that the most
That's why I'm saying STEAL FROM THE BEST. Don't copy. Don't try to re-invent. Pinterest has been doing it for a long time, they've figured the out how to do presentation (and discovery) best. We can do zaps and other stuff they can't do, but we have to get the basic stuff right too. Copy the basic stuff from them.
The Nostr client from @nos.social by @rabble and his team is doing a good job at this masonry view with borders that dont touch. Also gives user ability to go from single column view to as many as you want. https://m.primal.net/HdTt.jpg https://m.primal.net/HdTu.jpg https://m.primal.net/HdTv.png
