I miss the Grasshopper gallery here on discourse. I believe having a pinned gallery on the side really helps with inspiring each other to try out and experiment with commands/plug-ins/scripting. There’s indeed a gallery here but opening a topic for each picture is cumbersome and it would be nice to rather just scroll through the pictures and get a quick update on what’s happening. (and not scroll through titles of topics which barely say anything - a picture’s worth a thousand words? )
This was expressed on the grasshopper forum as well when it was about to close down here and here and others seemed to agree. David mentioned perhaps talking to Discourse developers on this but I’m just wondering if there’s any further steps taken regarding this?
Unfortunately it is not official yet so @stevebaer would have to commit to sponsoring it to a degree so we could make it supportable on our hosted forums.
Wow, the preview of the images is gone now on that link. Before those topics were boxes with an image and the text from the title and post next to them I believe… I think, if I recall correctly, those titles also created different sizes of boxes and that in combination with the text made it a bit chaotic.
Do you think Topic List Previews has matured enough in the past couple of years that we might be able to use this on our hosted site? I think, at first, it would be nice to test this out in the Gallery category and it would be awesome if we could get the Portfolio feature in users’ profiles.
