Github-readme-stats: Sizes of Repo Cards

[ApurvShah007]

Describe the bug
The sizes of repo cards as of now differ due to the size of the description of the repo.

Expected behavior
Would be great if all the repo cards ore of same size as it looks uneven on the readme.

@anuraghazra worth giving it a look?

[anuraghazra]

@ApurvShah007 This is not a bug actually, this is expected behaviour which is implemented in #206

Well your request is valid tho, maybe we can add a option to limit the maximum line wraps to "1" so that all cards stay same height

[ApurvShah007]

@anuraghazra My bad, I had not gone in and seen if it had been discussed before. I would appreciate if it was possible to make them all in a size limit.

@anuraghazra We could make the height fixed to the multi line behaviour. This is also what github does when you pin two repo cards with different description length next to each other:

It does that because of CSS auto flex height. it stretches both rows.
But we can't do that in markdown/readme, because there is no flex layouts in markdown & we cannot determine how & where users placed the images.

@anuraghazra sure. However, we can hard code the card's height to the multiline case for consistency. So every card, no matter how long the description is, will have the height of the multiline case.

Consequently, every single line case card will look like the emilast/vscode-logfile-highlighter card above. Even when it's placed next to another single line description card.

Yes we can do this, but thats what i'm avoiding. the extra 2 line space in the cards looks kinda odd to me.

jup, there is no right or wrong decision here 😉. This is a pure design decision.

Also an additional parameter like forceSingleLineDescription or forceMultiLineDescription could be an option.

[anuraghazra]

Yeah that's what i proposed earlier

maybe we can add a option to limit the maximum line wraps to "1" so that all cards stay same height

This way people can choose how many lines of description they want, instead of limiting them to "forceSingleLineDescription"

@anuraghazra any updates on how I can make them same size?
