News • Re: ContentDB - package page redesign

I like this redesign! It feels a little more polished. I especially like the updates to the screenshot layout on a mod's page. The screenshots themselves are bigger, you don't have to click to make them large enough to see, and you can now use arrow keys to scroll between them. Plus, they're all in a nice horizontally-scrolling list so they don't take up so much space.

I'm a big fan of the fact that I can see release details/notes without inadvertently downloading things.

A few nitpicks:

1. When clicking the reviews link on a package's main page (the "Positive (100% of 3)" text near the top right), it changes to the "Reviews" tab, but doesn't scroll down to the reviews, so it looks at first like clicking the link has done nothing.
2. The thumbnail gallery doesn't automatically scroll, so you can move to a screenshot that is out of sight in the little carousel, and you have to manually scroll it if you want to see where you are
3. It's unclear what the difference between "Positive" and "Very Positive" is (number of reviews?). Some packages (like VoxeLibre) have 95% positive reviews and are labeled as "Very Positive," whilst others (such as Thinking With Arrows) have 100% positive reviews but are simply labeled "Positive."
4. As TenPlus1 mentioned, hovering over a package puts the tooltip squarely over top of the package below it. Aside from being annoying to look at, this is slightly unintuitive, and sometimes means that the tooltip is cut off by the bottom of the webpage. The hovered package is also barely highlighted at all, so it's kinda hard to tell what you're hovering over. I would suggest putting the hover info over top of the screenshot like before, and maybe expanding the whole tile to make it more obvious what's being focused. Something like what's shown in the attached screenshot of the CurseForge website (though maybe not quite as exaggerated).
5. Nowhere on a package's main page can I see how many downloads it has. This might seem like a small thing, but not only is it important for helping users gauge a mod's quality and popularity, but (at least in my experience) it often provides authors with small dopamine hits that motivate and encourage them.
6. This issue carries over from before the refresh. When I hover over my username to open the dropdown, if I move my cursor too slowly into the popdown, it disappears from my clutches. This can be very annoying. The dropdown should at the very least stay there when I click my username. This only seems to happen after I click the username.
7. Some user collections seem to be broken: they lead to a page saying "Oops! Something went wrong." For example, this collection near the top of the Minetest Game collection list.

I know that seems like a lot of complaints, but I do genuinely like the refreshed UI. It is prettier, more intuitive, and generally makes a lot of much-needed improvements. Good work from all involved!
