rsc_grid() in connectwidgets package

I'm trying to build a dashboard from RStudio connect content using the connectwidgets package.
There is a rsc_grid function that creates the grid view. I would like to add app descriptions to the tiles in grid view. how could I do that ? the default input is the app name and owner_username.

I don't believe that's possible with connectwidgets grids at the moment (and I'm not sure the current design would handle large volumes of text well anyway). I've added an issue in the GitHub repository to track this feedback: https://github.com/rstudio/connectwidgets/issues/61

bs4cards may also be of interest to you: https://bs4cards.djnavarro.net/

Thanks for the reply. bs4cards is also a good option but the problem is with the images in the grid view.
rsc_grid will take care o the app images automatically. Right now using the connect api in connectwidget package I can not get the app image urls :

client <- connect(
   server  = "server",
   api_key = "key"
  )

all_content <- client %>%
  content()

the all_content object does not return any image url from connect and when I use the same url, as the one used in link paramenter I'm getting a proxy error while deploying to connect :confused:

sample_content %>%
  cards(
    title = title,
    text = description,
    link = url,
    image = url,
    tags = paste("all;", owner_first_name),
    width = 4,
    footer = paste("posted:", updated_time)
  )

that chunk is compiling locally but during deployment :

also I'm interested to get the custom url with this all_content object as well which is not possible as well :confused:

Do you have an idea how to get app's image for the grid view when using the bs4cards ?
