Deep Dive Layout Options

Choose from different layout options to control how your Deep Dive collection is displayed. Each layout offers a unique visual presentation optimized for different types of content and use cases.

Standard Layout

The Standard layout is our default option, perfect for most Deep Dives. It features:

• Full card display with complete item information
• Rich metadata including titles, authors, descriptions, and notes
• Perfect for research projects and detailed collections
• Great for Deep Dives where context and notes are important
• Ideal for sharing comprehensive information about each item

Best for: Research projects, reading lists with notes, collections where you want to share detailed information about each item.

Compact List Layout

The Compact List layout creates a grid of posters or thumbnails with small captions:

• Grid of poster-style images or thumbnails
• Small captions below each item
• Dense, scannable display
• Perfect for visual browsing
• Great for sharing on social media

Best for: Movie lists, book collections, visual galleries, shareable grids, collections where the visual is more important than detailed notes.

Masonry Grid Layout

The Masonry Grid layout creates a Pinterest-style staggered tile display:

• Staggered, flowing grid of items
• Items stack vertically like masonry bricks
• Optimized for visual content with varying heights
• Creates an organic, dynamic feel
• Great for browsing and discovery

Best for: Visual collections, photo galleries, inspiration boards, Pinterest-style curation, collections with lots of images.

Flipbook Layout

The Flipbook layout creates a zine-style page-flipping experience:

• Page-by-page navigation like a physical zine or magazine
• One item per page with immersive focus
• Interactive page-flip animation
• Perfect for storytelling and sequential presentation
• Creates a unique, curated reading experience

Best for: Zines, sequential stories, curated experiences, collections where order matters, artistic presentations.
