Abbreviate long numbers in UIs tight on space
Sometimes our UIs would benefit from abbreviating long numbers instead of showing exact numbers. For example, in project and group lists when users explore them the big difference is if a project has 12 stars or 12,000 stars. At this stage, details are not as relevant as they are later on.
Proposal
Abbreviate numbers (and round upwards) in UIs that are short on space, a few examples:
-
1.5k
instead of1,478
-
12k
instead of12,024
-
13k
instead of12,768
