Does anyone have any feelings one way or the other?
I thought is that the view with the categories + latest topics is better for new users and visitors; and registered users who prefer a different view (this the latest topics only view) can easily set it in their user preferences under the "interface" page:
I just noticed that the "categories + latest posts" landing page only looks "good" on the desktop.
For mobile, it is not nice; and so for mobile the "latest topics" landing page looks the best.
There is no option in Discourse to set this based on mobile or desktop; so I will put this on my long-term TODO list to write a plugin to take care of this issue.
@vbe, if you have time, please search the Discourse plugin directory and see if this plugin has already been written.
Frankly, I'm only interested in that plugin if it permits us to have a different default landing page for mobile versus desktop.
I'm not a huge fan of that Custom Layouts Plugin but if it can do exactly what we need in terms of having everything the same as it is now but a different landing page for mobile v. desktop, we can certainly give it a try.
The issue on my end is that I'm totally busy with family and work projects; and prefer not to install and configure that plugin unless it can do what we want it do it.
I don't know... I looked a bit more ahead and followed the guy's link to his company to see it in vivo, my opinion is, it could, but at a cost of redesign the whole layout, in order to have a custom layout for mobile, with a totally different approach as you would have a side bar layout... So not convinced as mobile screens are more high then large
So far I haven't found anything except maybe something that needs this plugin to work, so did not more in detail as it was also 4 years old...
