Development Update - Deck View Options

{"ops":[{"insert":"\nHello brewers,"},{"attributes":{"header":3},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nToday’s update includes some improvements and additions to your “View as” options on the deck page. \n\ntl;dr"},{"attributes":{"header":2},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Text view receives a fresh coat of paint"},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Grid and Scroll are now options from the “View as” drop-down on the deck page"},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nText View"},{"attributes":{"header":1},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Traditionally, we have not given Text view as much attention as Stacks (previously “Images”). While the latter is certainly the more popular among our users, we know there are many who prefer the compact view that Text offers. Today, we’re recommitting ourselves to ensuring that Text is as well supported as our image-based views. \nText view now supports Multi-Select (previously only available in Stacks). Ctrl-click on desktop or long-press on mobile will highlight individual cards in orange. A popup modal at the bottom of the page allows you to perform a variety of functions for selected cards, including moving to custom categories, removal from the deck, color tag setting, and more."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Options for card information to show in Text view have been moved to a settings dropdown that appears next to the “View as” dropdown when Text is selected. Toggleable visuals include drag handles (desktop only, more on that below), “extra options”, foiling, mana cost, set symbol, price, color tag, and collection info. "},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"The aforementioned drag handles are a three line icon that appears to the left of card names when toggled on. As the name implies, cards can be dragged to other categories using these handles. This feature is available on desktop only."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Previously, most card interactions (such as dragging, quantity adjustment, and card menu opening) occurred by interacting with the hover-over card image (or tap, on mobile). This was extremely fiddly and made looking at cards whose names were below the card image frustratingly difficult. On desktop, card images now follow your cursor and interactions have been moved to elements on each card’s line of text."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"On desktop, a few keybinds have been added to aid in common actions. While hovering over a card with your cursor, pressing + will increase its quantity, - to decrease, F will set the card to foil, E to etched, N to nonfoil, M will move it to your Maybeboard, S to your Sideboard, and R will remove it from the deck entirely. These keybinds are shown on the extra options dropdown (three vertical dots) to the right of card names.  "},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\n"},{"insert":{"image":"https://i.imgur.com/26mGdqZ.png"}},{"insert":"\n\nGrid View"},{"attributes":{"header":1},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Grid view is a new image-based deck layout.\nRather than collapsed into stacks, Grid view shows all card images at all times. "},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Your “Group by” selection will separate cards into categories, one on top of another. Premier categories (such as Commander) will appear at the top of the deck page while out-of-deck categories (such as Maybeboard and Sideboard) appear at the bottom. "},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nScroll View"},{"attributes":{"header":1},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Scroll view is another new image-based deck layout.\nSimilar to Grid view, Scroll view shows full images rather than stacks of cards. However, rather than each category wrapping downward as it fills up your screen’s horizontal space with cards, it instead scrolls from side to side. "},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Your categories are organized the same way as detailed in Grid view above."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"This view is… weird. The side scrolling is a bit clunky on desktop, but feels kinda neat on mobile. We’re very interested to see if anyone latches on this!

We’ll make tweaks as needed based on feedback.  \n\nAs for what comes next, we’ve begun cracking away at collaborative deckbuilding! It’s a massive undertaking that’s likely to take a while yet, but we’ll be sure to work in some smaller feature updates in the meantime. \n\nIf you have anything to suggest or report, you can find us here, @Archidekt on Twitter, or over in Discord. As always, feedback is greatly appreciated!\n\nThe Archidekt Team"},{"attributes":{"header":3},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\n"}]}
