Thank you for these PRs! I'll review and test them out tomorrow 🤙

This is great! I'm happy with this as-is, but I was wondering if you'd be game to remove the other uses of the truncate method. It's mostly small things like Results for "{StringUtils.truncate(@search_term, 50)}" on the search page or Editing "{StringUtils.truncate(@media_item.title, 35)}" on the media item edit page. I think it'd be ideal if we could get to the point where the StringUtils.truncate method was removed entirely

Yes, was planning on doing this already. I am a believer in small incremental change, small PRs. I knew the tables were straightforward but the other places i have to look into closley to not disrupt the layout.

Fair enough! I'll merge this as-is and we'll go from there 🤙. FWIW, I think those additional changes would close #458

Thanks again!
