Feedback on discourse main page

:pray:

Dear Bhante,

Would it be possible to have all the categories put on tabs on the main page for easier navigation like the sample below as discourse is expanding with new additions of topics?

Putting the categories in tabs will better organize the page and it won’t look so cluttered.

Thank you very much for your consideration.

with reverence, respect, and gratitude,
russ

Tabs aren’t possible (too much hacking), but perhaps we could enable the Categories Page as Home page. This is a fairly common way of using Discourse, and in my opinion it is friendlier for new visitors, as it shows the structure of things better, rather than the “stream of consciousness” style of the default view. It’s easy to enable, so I’ll try it out and see whether people like it or not.

The previous default view is available as the “Latest” posts.

pity, i liked it better informal and amorphous, it felt freshier

now it looks as boring as your average forum

Okay, well we’ll see how it goes. The former view is still available as “Latest”, so you can use this if you prefer.
