How should content that is too tall be handled?

Occasionally we will get a piece of content that is too tall to fit properly into a beat.

How should that be handled?

Images/charts

  • Look into possibility of stretching these down vertically, giving them margins on the left and right side (the same technique we use to squeeze wide videos down)
  • Moving forward, have an ai2html artboard for a storygist sized card that gives creators a maximum height for content
  • Automatically not show certain graphic elements bigger than the user's screen size?

Text

  • Automatically adjust text size to fit the amount of text
  • Automatically chop long text into multiple cards
  • Show only the text that the screen can show, with a "..." at the bottom the user can click to expand the rest (and scroll down)
  • Make longer story beats scroll (ick)
