Hello Media Center developers,
I find Panel really useful. Thank you! There are a handful of bugs and annoyances in the React app I wish I could patch, though. Would you consider accepting contributions to the front-end code?

Possibly. Thanks for the offer. Maybe you could provide details on a couple of changes you'd like.

Of course! Here are few of my ideas.
I'd like for the thumbnails to be larger on certain devices. Zooming in on the browser helps, but it also increases the font size, etc.
My proposal is a a new setting for the settings cookie (4 values in total) to fine tune the ratios:
* sm: choices 6/4/3/2
* md: "
* lg: "
* xl: "
At the root level, for ease of navigation, it would be helpful to have text labels on the choices, in addition to the icon. For example:

The vertical scroll position is not retained when navigating between views. For example:
- Scroll down a long list of albums
- Click back
- Observe that you're back at the top
My proposal would be to add the translate-y value to the URL/router state. This way the "Back" icon and the browser's own buttons would work the same.
I'd like for the search results to be groupable by artist, album, etc. rather than only tracks.
There are a couple ways forward I can see on this one:
- The Search?Action=Serialize endpoint does not provide sufficient context to allow for grouping. It could be modified to do so.
- The Search?Action=mpl endpoint does, however. Panel could be modified to use it instead.
-
I'd love movies to be able to display the description field for when my wife asks "what's that one about?"

Does that request imply that you would be willing to contribute code?

No, I'm not a developer by trade so would be outside of my lane.

Hi JimH,
If interested, please message me with details on how to access the source. I can also share my professional background.
Thanks for considering it. :)

Not at this time. Thanks for your interest.

IMV it would be more interesting if there was a way to add my own extensions to panel, i.e. for panel (as a react webapp) to dynamically load a module I provide and route appropriate requests to it (like /plugin/foo will be routed to my component)
