The Next Big Thing(s) for edopter

We just launched the first stage of the new homepage on edopter. We’ve spent the past couple weeks working on new features, with a focus on making it easier to find new trends (and keep track of trends that you are in on). I think the homepage is the most important page on the site, as it represents all of the activity and buzz building across the site. 

1. WHAT’S NEXT

We had a lot of feedback on the trend promo blocks, and we’ve cleaned them up so that they focus on the best of the new and active trends on the site. It’s still fully dynamic, so if you want to see an up-to-the-minute snapshot of new and active trends, simply refresh the page. We’ve also grouped the blocks so that they feature trends from all six categories.

 2. THE WIRE

We decided to level up the activity feed and make it much more powerful and interactive. You can now see several days worth of content added to trends across the site, and can drill-down into the feed to see the activity within trends that you are in on. We’ll be adding some new elements to The Wire over the next week which will make it easy to see the growth and popularity of trends as you glance across the feed.

There are still a few more features coming to the homepage, so make sure to check it out!

We’re continuing to work on making edopter a more powerful and fun site, and this is the first of a few major changes we’ll be making over the next few days. If you have any feedback or thoughts, we’d love to hear from you!
