New topic list view

New topic list view

The way we display a list of topics has been improved. Today we rolled out changes with the goal to make the user experience more consistent across the platform, distinguish different content types visually and make content easier to scan.

New topic list view

We made some general changes to all topics cards and some specific changes for ideas and articles. Click Learn more! below to see a visual overview of the new topic card design:

 

 

General layout changes

  • Smaller author avatar

  • Change the color of user name from brand color to text color (will be overwritten by rank username styling)

  • Display category info next to author, parent category is now shown

  • Distinguish the content types using different verbs next to author information

  • Amount of views are only displayed on desktop for articles

  • Subtle hover effect for metadata

Upgraded article card in topic list

  • Remove border around image and content

  • Show content right below the title

  • Show label on image if there is a featured image

Upgraded idea card in topic list

  • Highlight the vote action as well as the amount of votes

  • Improve idea status visibility using status label

We hope you like the new changes like we do, if you have feedback let us know in the comments below! We are working on more visual improvements and a new way to change generic styles (colors, cards, fonts, buttons, lists) in your platform. Stay tuned for more!

Hey @bjoern_schulze

Feedback for the vote button: The vote button on the new topic list view isn’t consistent to the vote button on the topic page.

This was also fixed in the update last Friday. The vote button is now inheriting the toggle button styling and stay consistent with topic page. Thanks for feedback :)

So the two basic aspect ratios on inSided remain 9:4 (original) and 16:9 (for most of the teasers)?

Yes, the article featured image ratio remains the same as before.
