Replying to this thread rather than starting a new one because the topic is related.

The "top five language stats" seem to occupy too much space. The fields for every language seem to be too high, resulting in too much line spacing. The font seems to be too large. This is what it looks like for me: https://imgur.com/a/mIuNdpq.

I wonder if it wouldn't be better to either remove it completely or make it (much) smaller and display more languages instead. The numbers of the top five languages aren't really so interesting and don't show a lot of diversity. Making the languages displayed random would be another option.

Good suggestions worth considering. That would indeed be more interesting. 🙂

I would like it if the Top 5 languages listed the top 5 contributed-to languages of the day, or maybe the week, as opposed an unchanging all-time list.

> The "top five language stats" seem to occupy too much space.

This is part of the transition to the responsive UI. You will see that in general, anything with a list of clickable items will take more space. This was already done for:
- the list of tags
- the links on the sidebar on the profile page

My guess is that the space it takes is not really the problem itself, but rather that the information displayed is too irrelevant for you.

> I wonder if it wouldn't be better to either remove it completely

There was an issue about it that I already wanted to solve several weeks ago:
https://github.com/Tatoeba/tatoeba2/issues/842

I aborted my plans because the whole Kabyle discussion was a bit too overwhelming and I had no time to really think carefully about what this block can be replaced with.

I had two ideas in mind:
- Displaying the same stats that are displayed on the homepage for non-authenticated users.
- Displaying the top 5 languages, but limited to the languages that the user has added in their profile.

Removing the whole block was also something I considered, but doing that would remove the possibility to access stats of all languages. The link to https://tatoeba.org/eng/stats/s...es_by_language is only available from the stats block and I wasn't sure where is the best place to put it if this block was to be removed.

I immediately noticed it for the links in the sidebar on my profile page. I was hoping it was only temporary because I use that sidebar a lot and it now requires me to scroll up and down a lot because of the immense spacing. I didn't think that could be intentional. I would probably have kept silent if I hadn't noticed that design choice spreading, in this case to the top five languages.

I think all suggestions made for the latter so far would be improvements to what there is now.

On the other hand, the field where you write comments seems to have shrunk. There I would find something bigger more comfortable. It felt good the way it was before. 🙂

The increase in spacing is intentional for the reason that we will be reusing as much as possible design patterns from Material Design (https://material.io/). In Material Design, there is more emphasis on space because it takes into account mobile experience. If you are browsing from a mobile phone, you need more space between items in order to be able to tap on the desired item.

Having a "compact mode" would definitely be a possibility in the future, but as of now, we are still designing with the default paddings and margins that come with the AngularJS Material framework (https://material.angularjs.org/).

I take note for the comment form. It has indeed shrunk but that one was not intentional.
