Title: Feedback needed - future website updates
Liam Dawe 2 days ago
OKAY FOLKS, it's real feedback time. I need your input!

What are some things you want to see improved on a technical / style level on the website.

What would make the experience on GamingOnLinux better for you? What features need updating, improving / adding?

Doesn't matter how small or big it is, now is the time to give me your ideas and requests.

I've tried reading other PC gaming websites recently, and gosh they're so god damn annoying. Full of adverts inside the articles, with overlay adverts popping up on top and so on. Along with hijacking the back button too, so many nuisances. I'm glad GamingOnLinux overall just keeps things simple to get you reading quickly.

As per Discord feedback, the social icons in the footer are now aligned properly and the same size in the boxes and the boxes are all the same size too. Small thing, but looks a lot nicer.

I would like to see an option to enable wide mode or compact mode or however it will be called. something like the new reddit style where you can pick compact view and have the screen filled horizontally more.

Reader for ~5 years, wow I can't come up with anything substantial.
On header when expanding sections or contact us, a few items overflow to the row below while the most occupy only one row. Making these consistent by perhaps making the overflow menu wider could be nice.
GoL lists only 210 games while AreWeAnticheatYet lists over a thousand. Though some of the games in the latter are either not out or online only & end of life. Also i'd argue listing games that need workarounds as "broken" is not the right choice, they should be either "works" or in their own category. ie. Battlefield 4 "Playable if you manually update PunkBuster." We have plenty of broken games with no fix, no need to throw the fixable games in the same bucket. Also last time I checked (almost a year since I last played haha) genshin impact refused to work unless you disconnected from network before launching game *or* added the game as non steam game (no, simply using proton doesn't work because the game checked for the existence of steam or something like that) that is not mentioned either

A first W.I.P pass on this is live. In the user settings, see the viewing mode option. Is this what you were thinking? Needs plenty of tweaking but want to ensure it's going the right way.

yeah something like this is pretty good. Thank you.

could maybe tweak the article images to be a bit smaller so theres more news on the screen without scrolling down and the sidepanel on the right could be maybe tiny bit less wide, but i like it :)

edit:
forum is pretty much perfect size for me with that :)

Did a few more quick tweaks: smaller sizing on the article list to fit more in, the article image is set to fit rather than stretch so it looks better. The content also has a max-width of 2400px otherwise it would stretch forever (bit silly).

Need to sort the featured articles at the top next, they're too stretched.
