Implement Filtering and Limit Controls for Polls and Leaderboard Listings

[tristenwallace]

Problem Summary:

The application currently displays all polls and leaderboard entries without any limits or filtering options. This lack of control leads to an unruly and overwhelming user interface, especially when dealing with a large number of entries. Users may find it challenging to navigate or locate specific information quickly.

Description:

The front end needs some changes to introduce filtering options and limit controls for both the polls list and the leaderboard. This would improve the usability of our application by allowing users to view entries based on their preferences and reducing visual clutter.

Current Behavior:

• All polls and leaderboard entries are displayed at once.
• No options are available for users to filter or limit the number of entries they see.

Expected Behavior:

• Users should be able to set preferences for how many entries they want to view at once (e.g., 10, 20, 50).
• Users should have the option to filter polls and leaderboard entries based on criteria such as date, popularity, or specific tags.

Possible Solutions:

• Pagination: Implement pagination controls to allow users to navigate through entries in smaller subsets.
• Filtering Options: Add dropdowns or input fields to filter entries by various criteria.
• Configuration Settings: Allow users to configure default settings for how many entries they wish to see per page.

Impact of Changes:

• User Experience: Enhances user satisfaction by making the interface cleaner and more navigable.
• Performance: Potentially improves load times and responsiveness by reducing the amount of data rendered at once.
