With the UI/UX improvements from last week, the addition of the grid layout made for some poor UX on the Home and Kurated pages. The two columns were not stacking into one, and so they were shrinking so small to fit in the large title text.

There was also an issue with the title text being too long in some posts, and it was pushing the other meta-data out of view, hiding it in the overflow. This included the author, post time and the community it was added to.

Fixing the grid layout for the above issues greatly improved the UX, both for mobile and desktop browsing of content.

Additionally, the infinite scroll I made was reworked, putting more in to Redux. I then added infinite scroll to the Home page. It took longer than I had expected.

Mobile and Grid Layout UX Improvements

As mentioned in the intro, the text to display the author name, community name, and the time ago a post was added to the community, were all being pushed out if the title was too long.

Now, if the view is smaller, the title will be cut off and not push the meta data out of view.

If the view is small enough, like on a mobile, then the two grid layout will become one, with a larger image to show, as well as more space for the meta data.

Adding infinite scroll to the Home page

The infinite scroll works like any other. You scroll down, and before you hit the bottom, the page will fetch some more data to show you.

Here you can see the scroll bar is larger and near the bottom of the page.

After scrolling a bit more, the page loads more data, keeping you at the same location, and the scroll bar position changes and gets smaller.

In the next days, I will be finishing to add the infinite scroll functionality I made (I didn't use a pre-existing package) to the Communities and Kurated pages.
