Bases: Add Masonry / Waterfall View

Use case or problem

The current Cards View for Bases doesn’t work well for my workflow for two main reasons:

  1. Many of my notes don’t have a cover image, which creates large, empty placeholders in the grid that waste space.
  2. The fixed aspect ratio crops my images, so I can’t see the full picture.

Proposed solution

I propose implementing a Masonry (or “Waterfall”) layout. This would improve my experience by:

  1. Hiding the image area entirely for my notes that don’t have a cover image.
  2. Showing my full, uncropped image by allowing card heights to be dynamic.
  3. Creating a more compact grid that lets me see more of my notes at once.
