Description
@jarrodmillman pointed out some issues with the "tag cloud" on https://blog.scientific-python.org/posts/.
Here are some issues I've noted as well:
- The readability and clickability of some items is poor
- The size of tags is inconsistent, some being very small (like
3d
) and some very long (liketraveling-salesman-problem
). This is hard to make aesthetically pleasing, as well as being inconsistent for usability and readability.
Some ideas:
- Limit the range of font sizes: smaller tags would be larger, and larger ones would be smaller, resulting in a more even appearance.
- Unify the font sizes completely: every tag would be the same size. The information currently conveyed (the size representing how many posts exist with the tag) could be conveyed by other means, like a number next to the tag.
- Have a separate page for the tag cloud: giving it more space would allow more freedom to display them in useful, creative ways.
- Dispense with the tag cloud entirely: they seem somewhat popular, but whether they're useful to readers is another matter.
@jarrodmillman @stefanv What do you think? Also, who else should we tag for feedback on these ideas? Thanks.
