Noted! I have longer descriptions in the db, but didn't want to bloat the listings. Will try with a longer description soon.
It's a tough balance, you don't want a whole page for each one. Maybe if there was a clear list of tags so it's easier to understand even what category they're talking about?
For example:
Penpot
Design freedom meets open-source collaboration
I really don't know what this product category even is. Is it for web layout? Is it a drawing program? Is it for CAD?
Fair point. I'll try to add more context to the listings. Thanks!
Maybe consider collapsible dropdowns or similar for the extra information
This is the solution. That way i can decide if i want to read more about one of them and then sinply open the dropdown.
personally I love it when websites solve this problem with hover hints, theres something satisfying about seeing a paragraph of text on hover that just answers all my questions. not sure how that'd work for people viewing on mobile though
Added just that! Thank you for the suggestion.
anytime! just remember as @Shimitar@feddit.it pointed out, these will be useless for tablet and mobile users, so you may still need an additional solution!
No please, hover links are just useless to tablet and mobile users, anybody without a mouse actually!
A "more" button after the one liner would be very nice. Or make the one-liner a link that gives a longer description.
Thanks for the work. I've bookmarked it!
