@eric3000@juergenhoebarth without getting into specifics, one of the goals is to drive more attention to non-tech categories.
Interestingly, we see about the same rate of engagement in games, books, and podcasts but the previous homepage "buried" these channels within the navigation. We should see more upvotes, comments, and engagement across the entire site.

only two years? seems like a lifetime. good job keep it comin'
Pretty amazing how 2 years flies by so fast. Like a few comments above, I'm also not completely sold on the carousel concept just yet and the effect that will have on products that are not in the top 5, but I've switched over to the new site in order to really feel its impact over the next week or so. I can imagine the tradeoffs you had to make: give up the depth of a single category for the breadth of multiple categories. Perhaps this is more aligned with PH's long-term strategy.
In any case, congrats on the new design! Excited to see where this goes ( ͡ᵔ ͜ʖ ͡ᵔ )
@alirtariq I appreciate the honesty, Ali. We're planning to make the homepage more personalized based on things you follow and activity from your friends. Ultimately, we want each "row" of content to be relevant and awesome.
@rrhoover@alirtariq would you say that this change is aimed at making PH more relevant to me but de-emphasizing the impact it has on the brands launch itself? Seems like moving away from the leaderboard/bragging rights is a tradeoff. When are you doing a PH live so we can meta ask you about all of this?
I love it! I feel there's a danger in abandoning the original simplicity but the tradeoff may be well worth it. I'm sure you've done plenty of beta testing so here's hoping that the results are overwhelmingly positive!
