Rauno's Field Notes #2

Vercel Project Cards I started by tweaking the padding and co-located information to reduce the vertical space occupied by each card. Some data was also omitted, for example we realised that we don't need to show the project branch on the card which is generally always "main".

It's important to understand that these cards occupy a lot of space on the screen on this view. It's easier to digest cards when there are less rows on the card and information is tight and terse.

Here's a before & after of the changes. We even gained an extra row in the grid.

Another change we made was to the project card shortcut menu. We're still testing this change behind a feature flag. At first it seemed like it would simply clean up the card since the ··· button repeats a lot.
