Project: Replace front page with Agency-like interface, CSS card system

First steps:

• Determine sizes (and zoom) levels of Agency cards in-game both before and after mouse-hover - DONE
• Determine expand (& zoom) timings from in-game
  • Initial mouse-over to Begin border expansion: 75ms
  • Begin border expansion to end border expansion: 100ms
  • End border expansion to end image zooming: ~ 2820s
• replicate expand (& zoom) behavior in CSS on-wiki - example found
  • Animations on ::hover, with keyframes for timing?
• Determine what Topics/Categories (and how many total) will be represented
  • Musts:
    • EVE University
    • UniWiki (how to contribute, etc.)

Decide which size cards to use on the wiki

Templatize the cards so they can be used more easily

• Template variables:
  • Image
  • Title
  • Detail Text
  • Page-link

Notes

Timings of hover & zoom, initial findings: ~ 75ms after mouse-hover before border expansion begins
~ 100ms to accomplish border expansion
~ 2825s to finish zooming background image in after border expansion
Total: about 3 seconds (2825+100+75 = 3000ms) to accomplish the full sequence.
Keyframes triggered on ::hover
0 = resting state, lasts 75ms
1 = border fully expanded, background image also expanded same amount, lasts 100ms
2 = background image fully expanded, lasts 2825ms
Mouse-out resets state to 0.

For Mobile:
JS to switch target link, so first tap on card triggers the expansion & zoom, second tap goes to page? Is that intuitive enough, or would user expect second tap to shrink the card again?

Enlarge image with hover over

Agency card sizes

Notes

Make image independent of the text? - write text over the image? scale both together? font?

Prototype area

If you expand the smaller image, it becomes blurry. However, if you reduce the larger image in size (to the size of the unexpanded image) and then expand it on hover-over, there is no loss in resolution! :)
