Great idea, thanks for this. I found the category selection process extremely frustrating. The site just presents a huge drop-down list where contributors now need to sift through and hope they'll choose the right one. This is unmanageable. For such a daunting task (choosing the right category), I would suggest a tree-like, multi-modal set of drop-downs, or a simple quiz (wizard), or something.
- byPandaDev 2y agoHey atmanactive, Thanks for your answer. What exactly is your vision of the category selection? Do you want a main category and these main categories have subcategories where you can choose from? To find the right category easier, I've added a search function to it. Looking forward to further feedback
- atmanactive 2y agoYes, exactly. Instead of presenting several dozen categories, try to group them to as few as possible, and then, when the user chooses the main group, then open the drop-down with just those subgroups. Three levels max, of course, although, with clever thinking, you could probably get away with just two. For example, is this new post personal or technical? Is it about the O/S or an app? Hardware or software? And so on. On the other hand, a simple search/filter definitely helps.
