Today we’re rolling out the first change set of what we’ve been calling D2 internally—a rethink of our UI for navigating the site.
We have several areas that we want to attack and improve this year. Today we’re introducing new menu navigation and advanced filters for gleaning additional shot streams from the amazing corpus of content our members contribute.
We leaked a sneak peak of this last week:
(glad there’s a site for that :) and today we’re releasing this functionality to our members. We’re going to take it slow, launching to a subset of our members initially, so if you don’t see it right away, don’t worry—if all goes well, it’ll make its way to you before too long.
A few notes about saying goodbye to the old and hello to the new:
• Your personal shot streams (Following, Suggestions) were previously intermingled in the menu with global streams (Debuts, Playoffs, Teams) from the entire community. We’ve separated the personal views into a Home section (the root page when signed in, simply click our logo to get back to it) that gives us breathing room to expand both personalized offerings (Home) and filters across the entire community (Shots).
• In accommodating multiple selections available in the new shot navigation, the Everyone stream has been re-labeled a bit. When you select Recent | Shots in the menu you’re seeing the latest shots, or what has traditionally been the Everyone stream:
We hope the changes will make it easier to explore the site and give you a lot more power in doing so. Happy navigating as you wade forth into the new streams.
