Add topics and make searching by topics simpler
I have displayed the topics associated with each library and also made them clickable. This way, whenever a user clicks a topic, they can search by that specific topic.
I also created a small demo to see the feature in action.
hello! thanks for the pr! after seeing this in the ui i'm not totally sure we want it to be featured so prominently. i'll defer to @jonsamp for design ideas here.
also, i noticed that we're already factoring in topics when you search, so that's nice! the ui is the only remaining bit
Haha, fair enough. I thought the page could use some colors but I am open to changing whatever.
I was also considering using icons for the platforms but I didn't know what to use for MacOS. 🤔
Another thing to consider for these tags - currently we're just using "topics" from GitHub, but this doesn't work too well in some situations, eg: if a library is inside of a monorepo, it can't have its own topics. So we should maybe use npm keywords in addition to GitHub topics and uniq them.
not yet - we're just fetching download stats from npm: https://github.com/react-native-community/directory/blob/master/scripts/fetch-npm-data.js
This is a cool feature! Thanks for adding it. Since there are many topics and they act like site links, I think we can style these like links. Here's a design that puts topics below the description. The text-size here is 12px (and the background and border is the same as the link styling):
