Gallery Views, Custom HTML, Leaderboards & More

We’ve shipped a set of updates to give you more flexibility when building and customizing your directories with Row.so. Prompt & Code Content Formats You can now display prompts and code blocks directly in your Row.so listings and pages. This makes it easier to build prompt libraries, developer directories, resource collections, and other directories where structured text and code are part of the content. Custom HTML in Footer You can now add custom HTML to your directory footer. Use it to add custom links, widgets, badges, scripts, or other third-party integrations that help you customize your directory beyond the default options. Grid & Table Leaderboard Views Your visitors now have more ways to browse and compare listings with new Grid and Table views. Choose the layout that works best for your directory. Grid view works well for visual content, while Table view makes it easier to compare structured information across multiple listings. Sticky Action Button The action button on listing detail pages can now stay visible while visitors scroll. This keeps important actions within easy reach and can make directories with actions such as submitting, visiting, joining, or purchasing much easier to navigate. Gallery View Modes We’ve added more ways to showcase visual content with new Gallery view modes. You can now choose between Grid, Slideshow, and Carousel layouts to create a better browsing experience for image-heavy directories, portfolios, collections, and other visual content. More improvements coming These updates are part of our ongoing work to make Row.so more flexible for different types of directories and use cases. We’ll continue improving customization, views, and the overall directory-building experience.
