[blog categories] Card Layout Rendering for theCategories Page

[ebouchut]

Today, the blog plugin renders the Categories page with a list of all blog posts (title + excerpt) for the selected category.

I would like to propose an alternative rendering for this page, showing all categories on a single page, a kind of card layout (without an image).
This would provide a different way to browse all the existing categories.
This could be configured to show each category name as a section, with a subset of recent blog posts below (just titles this time, no excerpts).
The configuration parameters could be:

• card_layout: If enabled, display all categories using a 2-column layout.
• post_per_category: How many posts to show per category (most recent first)

Thanks for suggesting! That sounds like a job for the tags plugin, because it provides this exact functionality. I don't think it make sense to also implement this into the blog plugin, because it's already possible by using the tags plugin. Just switch categories to tags in your post. Related:

Thank you @squidfunk, I will use the tags plugin.
