Feature Request: Complex search and advanced category selection #17

Closed codeflight1 closed 10 months ago

The current category selection is slightly cumbersome and will only get more so as categories are added. A better system I think is to show a home page with a list of parent categories that, when clicked, reveal a list of subcategories that can then be selected.

In addition to this, if one doesn't know what category a part would be in it is helpful to have a text search that searches all categories and then returns a list of categories with parts containing the search string.

Both of these features can be part of a splash screen of sorts, that greets the user and provides a more streamlined UX.

Sorry I haven't responded to this!

I agree the current filtering isn't great. Definitely open to a different approach.

Could you create a wireframe of what you are describing? That helps me to understand the scope of the changes.

Sorry for the long delay, this is my basic idea for a home page. The search would then go to a similar categories page including only categories with parts containing the search string. I'll work on the about text, let me know if you have any more questions. Rad Toolkit Wireframe
