@Lokkye cool! 🙂 don’t hesitate to tag me here when the PR is ready 🙂 For the design, it feels a bit « blocky » I agree 😁 Also watch the alignment of the scenes in the list view — it needs to stay aligned regardless of the description size (since it’s dynamic) ---

> [@Lokkye](#): > > What do you think? It’s much better 🙂 The spacing is a bit odd though, it creates a large gap between the title and the description, don’t you think?
