Spaces in /events is used poorly for desktop and laptop users

[Sboonny]

the pages look like a mobile page for desktop user. We can use more features and a lot of the empty space to display more info about events for general user,

I will post a link of the page file and hopefully how the feature is implemented.

Feel free to drop a suggestion, or ways you think you can help.

If you want to help, make it small, usually layout is tricky and with UI component is under way, make complicated layout will be hindrance for it

@Sboonny, @ojeytonwilliams given today's conversation about performance / bandwidth, and Quincy's comments, shall we remove the event photo from the MVP view?

The other suggestion was to use a background color and font-treatment where the card photo is located. https://try.mekshq.com/u/hkafl/ was provided as an example of text-only design that still looks good.

Or, would be prefer to keep the images and show no image in a smaller screen / mobile responsive view to avoid the extra bandwidth for those situations?

[Sboonny]

We can show no image for smaller screen / mobile responsive view first, then use background color and font-treatment in mobile to make them look good.

If they look good enough in mobile, then we can remove the images from the view and add them after the mvp, as setting option.

Regarding the desktop view, I think we can make the content area wider. But, I think some essential information is missing in the content area. Shouldn't there be more information, especially about the location of the event, a little description of the event, and the number of members registered? If a little description of the event is added, this makes more sense to widen the content area, thereby minimizing the white space on the left and right of the page.

Location of the event.

We can show this, but hide it from banned user of chapter, because we don't someone to be banned and able to attend the event. The logic don't need to be centered around banned_users, we can focus around people who are RSVPed, because banned_user can't RSVP

Description

I was planning to add tags back, with the filter function. It will be too much info in a single card and a card may overshadow another. I am down to come back to this when filter function is added.

number of members registered

True, this one is tricky tho, because you will need to update the query and resolver to have event_users. There is a PR with a failed attempt #1630, I wanted to come back to this after MVP, but feel free to pick it up, if you want to.

nice ideas @dineshigdd 👍.
