How to set different page size for the first page in Kaminari?

Question

I have a number of objects I would like to paginate using Kaminari. However, on the first page I would also like to show a notification allowing the viewer to create his own

Buddy, I've found the way of get it working using padding:

@page = (params[:page] || '1').to_i
@per_page = 4
if @page == "1"
  Alphabet.page(@page).per(@per_page - 1)
else
  Alphabet.page(@page).per(@per_page).padding(-1)
end

This way, first page will return 3 items and the other pages 4 items.
