We’re pleased to announce that discovering people and the amazing work they’re posting on Cartrdge just got a whole lot easier. Starting this very moment, most of the information on the site is clickable!
As you can see, this functionality extends past the tags you can add to a post or project, or the skill tags on your profile. We’ve made the Platform, Controls, Engine and Genre fields clickable as well!
As you may have guessed, what this means is that when you click on one of these bits of information, whether it’s a tag, platform, engine etc, you’ll then see a search result related to that term.
Let’s use content (posts/projects) as an example. If you click a tag on a post, you’ll get a search result of all the other posts that also have that tag. Even cooler, on that same page you’ll also get a result of the all the projects with the same tag, separated by tabs like we do on the home page. See below:
If you clicked “voxel” from within a post, then you’ll land on the post results first. If you clicked on it from within a project, then the projects will show up. Pretty simple!
The same goes for user profiles. When you click on a skill tag, you’ll see a search result of all the other people on the site who have that skill. Looking for someone who excels at 3d art? We’ve got you covered:
At the moment, this is the full list of terms that are clickable:
These are clickable on User profiles and will return a User search:
Industry role and Geography (coming soon)
While these fields are clickable on a post or project and will return a Content search:
Until now you might’ve been wondering why we ask for so much information, whether it’s when you’re creating a profile, post or project. It’s a fair question, since you couldn’t really do much with any of the info. That changes today! Being able to click and search through all of these fields will make the site a much easier and more interesting place to discover not just new work, but also the people creating it.
We’ve got lot’s more functionality planned for search, and this is just the first step. But making all of this information clickable will greatly enhance the browsing experience, and make Cartrdge an even better place to share what you’re working on.
We hope you’ll enjoy this and find it useful. And as always, please do get in touch with any feedback or suggestions on how we can improve things.
