Mod Index - 'Recently Added' section
« on: December 23, 2020, 04:20:04 PM »

A suggestion for a small addition to the Mod Index to help with new mod visibility.

Since the Index is getting quite big it can be difficult to see at a glance if/when a new mod has been added. You can check the main post to see if it's been recently edited but you still have to search manually with your Eyeball Mk1 to see if there's anything new.

I suggest a small entry between the Key: and the top of the mod listings that lists any new mods added to the Index in the past 2-3 weeks, in order to draw attention to new mods without having to search through the whole list to see if there's something you don't recognize. If nothing has been added recently the entry could just be removed, and if an author doesn't want to be front and centre like that they could choose not to be. Or the entry could be placed at the bottom of the Index post so it isn't front and centre.

edit: mods could also go there when they have a significant update (authors preference?), or the whole idea could be boiled down to an *asterisk or some other symbol on new mods to indicate them as such.
