Add prev/next links to detail page - starter showcase

Add prev/next links like we have in Site Showcase

[swyxio]

well - there are no prev/next links in the design at the moment... what do i do?

Hi @sw-yx, can you clarify your question?

[swyxio]

well, check the wireframe:

there's no design for prev/next links...

(again offering personal opinion here - i dont think this is really needed unlike the site showcase so i never raised a question about it)

Thanks for clarifying! Hm, I can see your point--maybe people won't "browse" through starters as much as they would site showcase. I don't know the answer and would have to do a couple usability tests to be sure. I will do that! This conversation is reminding me of what I have noticed which is that there is no clear way to get back to the index page from a detail page other than the back arrow on the browser. @fk ideas for how to do that?

ah. this index navigation issue is something i do care more about. would be fixed when/if you expand the main navigation, but can maybe include a button somewhere

True, the mockups I made for the starter showcase didn't include those. I never intended them to be understood as full wireframes of the pages in question tho, but to highlight the most significant component changes as compared to the site showcase. But I never didn't communicated that clearly :-/ …still learning, apologies again! 🙏

I always thought prev/next navigation wouldn't be wrong for the starters either; I also assume that much less people will browse starters using them than showcased sites.

Regarding the "navigate back to index page" discussion, this could look like this

if we have enough horizontal space (icon is MdArrowBack), and that link could be preceiding the site/starter title like this for smaller screens:

To really make that work for smaller screens, I think it's best to move the starter author name below the starter title -- we could just re-use the "Built by" bit of the site showcase detail view:

Will working on consolidating site and starter showcase headers now (#6710, #6098).

@fk @shannonbux if i'm reading all this correctly, did this all end with no pagination needed? just back to the starter showcase? if so, let's close, deferring to #6710

[shannonbux]

Yes, Amberley, closing for now. Might do this in 2.0 Starter Showcase.
