Hub Layout: Library Emphasis

12 variations exploring library prominence

Round 3 — V6 Refinements

V9 — Avatar vs Icon

Forums led by avatar + channel dot (conversational). Library led by book icon + type badge (resource). No side accents. Rule of thirds: forums 2/3, library 1/3. Production event cards with RSVP.

V10 — Single Library Card

Forums as individual cards, library as one unified card with internal dividers. Structural contrast: loose cards vs. contained list. Same rule-of-thirds split.

V12 — Conversational vs Resource

Maximum contrast. Forums are social: author name prominent, reply/like icons, channel as tiny pill. Library is informational: type icon in colored square, badge, full metadata. Very different feel, same card shell.

Same unified cards but rearranged: events sidebar on left, forums center, library right. Tests whether library as a right-side discovery column feels natural.

V7 — Horizontal Band (V2 Evolved)

V2 refined with unified card styling — library as 3-col band on top with accent bars and tags, then forums below with full events sidebar. Library gets prime real estate without competing with forums.
