Display Suggestions for current song

Open udiboy1209 opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

Youtube gives a list of video suggestions for current playing video. Need to figure out a good way to display it on the screen, so that it doesn't interfere with the video player and list.

Backend functions already exist to fetch a list, front-end part remains.

Can you guide me how to tackle this issue

Check this function to fetch suggested videos. You may want to create a new module suggestions.js for this.

For displaying, it is similar to the <ul> used for playlist and searchlist. I'll leave it on you to figure out exactly how it should be displayed. Think about user-experience aspects when making choices (how easily is it accessible, does it cover important parts of the screen, should it auto-hide, when should it show etc.)

The last implementation I had simply showed a list of suggestions for the current playing song next to the playlist. It took up unnecessary screen space and looked weird and confusing, so I removed it when remaking the UI.
