Where to Go + cards — The Lineup app redesign

Make the toggle obvious — and never show a blank card

Two review fixes, designed in the v2 treatment. The "Where to Go / Things to Do" switch read as a giant title, so nobody knew it was two selectable views — it's now an obvious segmented toggle. And photoless places rendered blank or weak — they now get the branded placeholder (the category sigil on accent wash, matching the web), so a missing photo still looks intentional. Shown on the same tiered-card system as the home.

What to look at

Two review fixes, plus the card system applied to places.

1The toggle now reads as a toggle (P/Q)

A real segmented control — two pills in a track, the active one raised — so it's obvious "Where to Go" and "Things to Do" are switchable views, not a page title. And the oversized serif header that caused the confusion is gone; the screen title is now a normal app-bar size.

2The branded placeholder (K) — never blank

The Hunter Museum row has no photo, so it gets the category sigil on the accent wash — the same branded no-image treatment as the web. A missing image looks intentional and on-brand, not like a broken card. (See the spec below.)

3Featured = the accent-framed photo

What a Featured business buys, in v2: the framed photographic hero (gallery, the gold badge, the live offer). A Basic listing gets the sigil header instead — dignified, never punished. Paid buys more presence, never better truth.

4Filters trimmed to the trustworthy ones

Kept Open Now · Free · Nearby. Killed Family-Friendly (dupes the category tags) and Indoor/Rainy-Day (the indoor/outdoor data isn't reliable — accuracy over feature). Per Stacy's decisions F/G/H.

5Same tiered density as the home

One framed feature + compact rows + a navy beat — the place surface uses the exact card system as Today, so the whole app feels like one publication, lean and consistent.

The toggle — title → switch

● Before

Where to Go / Things to Do

Reads as a big title. Users don't realize "Things to Do" is a tappable alternate view — it looks like decorative subtext. (Stacy: "it's not obvious that those are options.")

● After

Where to Go Things to Do

Two pills in a track — the active one raised. Unmistakably a switch. The screen title moves up to a normal app-bar size, so the toggle owns the "two views" job alone.

The branded placeholder — match the web

For any photoless item: the category sigil on the family's accent wash. Same treatment the web already uses, brought across so the surfaces are coherent and a missing photo never reads as broken. (And because the tiered system only photographs the top card, these are rarer than before.)
