[Feedback needed] Display posts with multiple photos without cropping
Ted - Patina Project
Problem
Posts with multiple photos are currently cropped to the average height/width of all photos in the group. This causes photos to be displayed in unexpected ways on the feed.
Why?
This is because we do not enforce a strict height across all photos in the group, since multiple photo posts are actually standalone posts, unlike well-known platforms like Instagram.
Potential solutions
Here are a few possible options for how we can improve how we display multiple photo posts on the feed:
- Replace left swipe to cycle through photos with a button to expand all photos below the first photo. This allows us to display each photo from top-to-bottom in their original aspect ratios.
- Keep the left swipe to cycle through photos, but frame all photos at the maximum height/width and fill the empty space with blurred photo frames.
Any feedback/ideas would be appreciated!
