Increase the number of themes available about thumbsup HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi, sorry just seeing this issue now. That's a great idea!

Do you think CSS is enough, or should it include the hbs templates too? It would be more flexible for designs, but also more work to maintain if the data model changes.

Do you have some designs to suggest for the first themes?

Quick update, PR #44 makes this a lot easier. There is now a well-defined and unit-tested canonical model for Albums, and rendering is simplified (single page).

Next step, I'll group the current theme into a folder that looks like this:

themes 
    |__ classic
        |__ theme.hbs
        |__ theme.css

From there it should be easy to create new themes. I actually started on one, and quickly found that small markup changes can make things a lot easier, hence the idea of bundling the hbs file too.

It also allows themes to add a sidebar, breadcrumbs, more album details etc... just rendering more or less from the data model.

Hi @james-oldfield, in case you're still interested: I just released preview version 2.0.0-alpha.1 which supports 3 different themes:

Classic

Cards

Mosaic
