More Information
Summary:Content items are obtained and dynamically arranged in tiles within columns (e.g. columns of a same size) on a display. The obtained items, along with previously obtained items that have not been rendered, are sorted based on a time such as a creation time and a modified time for the item. A determination is made using the sorting as to whether any of the items are ready to render. The determination of whether an item is ready to render may be made before all of the content items are obtained. A layout within the tile(s) for the column for the ready to render items is determined. For example, the items may be placed in tiles based on their content (e.g. text content placed in smaller sized tiles as compared to rich content). The items ready to render are then sent for rendering.
