Layout format and Duplicate widgets

[Iss-in]

I would like to request for 2 features .

New layout format

Currently the layout format is somewhat cumbersome to deal with, widgets arent of same size by default. In some widgets height/width are configurable , in some they are not . getting a widget to an exact position is also somewhat painful and it also doesnt translate well among displays of different resolution.

I would propose if we can do it akin to a tiling manager. Every empty space can either be divided horizontally or vertically or can be assigned a widget instead.

Or simply make every widget resizable and draggable.

2. multiple instances of widgets

would be nice to have ability to add multiple instance of same widget. For example. for quick links,
i could add social media sites in one group, and my current project in another, switching tab groups is kinda cumbersome , its far more better having it out there visually.

Hello @Iss-in !

Multiple instances of widgets is not possible because they are not reusable components, but "baked-in" the code. That means we would need to rewrite the whole codebase to add a feature like this!

I am currently working on improving the usability of the layout feature. I'll see what it would take to replace it like a tiling manager. It might be easier to implement than what we currently have 🤔

Being able to resize all widgets individually would be a great addition, if we find a simple way to integrate it!

Thank you for your thoughts 👍
