New view type: Gallery View

I’m hoping for a gallery view as well. I’ve made a workaround using the Board view by having 2 fields.

  • Column order: 1-5
  • Row order: a-e

Gallery views are incredible for public facing databases, content management, and generally for more visual navigation. I hope to hear this is on the roadmap soon.

this was very useful in notion as well as in productboard like Zack mentioned above, to wow the stakeholders with upcoming/in development features.

To me it feels like Fibery is 95% of the way there - you could create a new view type based on boards, remove the columns option, and align elements horizontally instead of vertically as they are today.

It sounds like quick win though I’m probably missing some context

I would like to spend all my votes here! :pray::pray::pray:

@Yuri_BC already said everything I wanted to say.

I have to wonder what the user story for this looks like in their end. I remember discussing this missing feature back in 2020 and there’s never been a timeline for it.

We’ll never know if it’s a quick win unless we’re looking at the code base but I’d consider this and other media handling improvements huge quality of life improvements. It’s impossible to be a solution for every team/ area of the business without having easy usability for visual heavy processes. Most database tools in the space have a gallery view for this reason.

There is hope, one of our developers works on it in spare time :slight_smile:

This is something that would really helpful and would make Fibery more delightful. We use here for documenting internal company stuff. Such as. Team Members page, Tools that we use and also public site like Press links / Documents.

Here are a few use cases we currently have on Notion but we wanted in Fibery.

BTW, you can try this secret experiment using ?gallery-mode URL modifier for Board View:


Known issues:

  • Cards height can be variable, we will fix that to make it look better
  • DnD problems so far

I tested it. It’s working as expected.

Different heights for cards is not a big issue imo and could be lived with while the feature is in beta. It could also use placeholders for when the image is missing, like we get in whiteboards (pictured below)


but that’s also a “nice to have”.

It would be great if you could add it, under a new type of view, as an experimental feature
