Hunch Hub

We've started work on re-vamping the profile page to highlight more about what each person likes. This is still a work in progress and more to come.

Tags are a big change for the site, so I've started a new thread focused on them. I'll respond and post some thoughts over there now.
Feel free to chime in over here:

Looking forward towards the ability to filter results with tags. I'll make sure to add some over time for the results I'm familiar with. Do I recognise the signature of Georges Duverger?
However, I'm less sure about the current mode of presentation of tags under results.
- what's the surplus-value of presenting them in this way, imo they're convenient to narrow down/select certain results, but don't add much in terms of the result itself. But maybe that's because they're too generic at the moment and in need of more specificity?
The most interesting tags (certainly in this mode of presentation, not in terms of filtering) won't be the ones that a result shares with other results, but the ones that seperates them from each other. More precisely, those tags will be the ones that couldn't be captured in a question, as they didn't fit the decision tree format.
- even if you deem it necessary to present them like this, I would present them in a gray tone similar to "tags". In black I find them too distracting, they seem to break up the vertical stack of results too much and left my eye wandering around.

I am digging the new tag functionality. it really makes it easy to set up the tags where normally I am sure they were rarely updated.

We've been working on making tagging more prevalent and the first bits of that are getting rolled out today. Results now have a set of tags displayed. You can add / remove tags if you're logged in.

Next up is filtering results by tag.

Besides being informative, tags are also used to help teach Hunch which results are good for you. All else being equal, two results that share a tag in common will be assumed to be more similar than dissimilar.

The browse people page can still be found on the Contributor's Dashboard. Under the More menu, select Dashboard. From there hit the People link at the bottom of the page. This will take you right to the browse people page.

The Explore page has been canned from the navbar for now, but here's a link to it if you miss it.

Note: that link may break in the future as we change it

Where did the browse people or explore links go in the new nav?
