This repository hosts a site layout idea I've come up with and wanted to design and see how it turns out.
The layout is a set of rows with cards sitting in them and the rows sliding in alternate dimensions. When a row is however, it ceases to scroll, pinning the hovered card/tile and allowing the user to inspect the content better and make the choice to click to open the given post.
The rows are virtualized so new cards appear at the start/end and the sliding never causes the row to run out of content. The amount of rows is such that each item is presented at least once so the built-in browser search functionality works as expected.
The cards/tiles in the rows are assigned randomly.
The idea of this type of organization of information so to avoid presenting content that is meant to be on a spectrum ranging from one-off never to be touched again notes to evergreen posts in a chronological order which brands the content with implicit ranking.
This type of layout should fight against the user's recency bias and present all of the content with the same standing, drawing attention to the content's data (such as the title and the description) over its metadata (like when it was authored or even who authored it when deployed to a multi-author site).
This is what it looks like:
There is a high amount of repetition when the amount of content that can be offered is low. This layout works best when there is at least a hundred pieces of content to present or when it is tweaked to make the cards/tiles larger.
