Need for redesigned tag and section pages

[willwade]

I'm not enjoying the category pages (e.g. https://openassistive.org/categories/hardware/ and https://openassistive.org/categories/software/) - or each individual tag page e.g. https://openassistive.org/tags/joysticks/

Whats needed

Category pages:

• Ideally like the all-tag page (https://openassistive.org/tags/) - but just for hardware or software
• Instead of the date (see https://openassistive.org/tags/) - the short description should go into the entry (and maybe a tiny thumb??)

Individual Tag pages:

• Not bad as they are but needs: Title (e.g. https://openassistive.org/tags/text-input-projects "Text-input-Projects" up the top - and each item should somehow indicate whether its a hardware or software project (icon? colour?)
• No pagination. (most tags are not that long)

@paulhewett - what do you think?

I don't mind the category pages - I think it's important to have an image...otherwise it becomes too texty. Many of the people coming to the site may not know what these projects are and an image definately helps. WHat don't you like about the cat pages?

Here's what I don't like:

• Its not clear where you are. Are you looking at a tag, a category or a latest posts view? (e.g. https://openassistive.org/tags/educational-and-learning - looks the same as https://openassistive.org/categories/software/ ). A heading would help. Maybe indicating on each item whether its a hardware or software category item would help too
• The tags page (https://openassistive.org/tags/) is quickly going to be un-manageable to read. Their either needs to be a way of filtering this on hardware/software or we replicate this page for both software & hardware. Not sure whats better
• I agree the image is good. The problem is a tag like https://openassistive.org/tags/alternative-access - is paginating across 6 pages. Thats quite a few clicks to see them all. So maybe we need something as a cross between the tags page and the paginated page
