> Fwiw, I think it's fine if plugins update their screenshots for the
changes we make. @samuelsidler
Would be nice, but I don't ''believe'' - I don't have the facts to prove
this - that most of the plugin developers are going to update their
screenshots. Maybe finding out how many plugins were not updated in the
last six months would give a clue.
A possible counterargument would be that if a plugin is not updated, then
it would not get any traction. Some plugins just don't require any updates
because they are simple by nature, and it wouldn't be nice to present
their page in an unfavorable way because they didn't update their
screenshots. It might count for the users.
> I think a grid gallery (perhaps even masonry) with a lightbox would be
much preferred to the slider. @webdevmattcrom
I see the gallery + masonry option something that might work. Using a grid
gallery would make the user click on the image and after the lightbox is
opened with the next/prev button they can navigate between the
screenshots. This way hiding some screenshots at first (and keeping a
link/button to show them all) is not that problematic.
> If we do keep tabs, then the need to confine screenshots to fixed-height
slider goes away and we can maintain the vertical stacked layout in place
today. @kevinwhoffman
As for my preference, I like the simplicity of the vertically stacked
layout. Never failed me.
