Overhaul the product category tree in the Open Market
btmr opened this issue · comments
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I struggle with the product category tree because it doesn't align with most of the lists I am used to from established e-commerce.
New users are likely to check out the open market first and may find the category tree too shallow or confusing. Eg. having a main branch labelled "Electronics" while another is labelled "Cell phones" is contrary to the common experience elsewhere, where "Cell phones" is a sub-category of "Electronics".
Describe the solution you'd like
I suggest a product taxonomy that is more in line with what the big e-commerce platforms out there are doing.
We could use what is already openly available, eg. as stated in this article:

Additional context
In its current form, the product taxonomy of the open market looks like it was an afterthought (shallow tree, "unusal" branching") when it should be making a really good first impression.
The product taxonomy for the open marketplace (and general purpose markets) is specifically provided for in the particl-market service. Please log this issue at: https://github.com/particl/particl-market/issues
Logging it there ensures that attention can be given to it and proper priority assigned to it accordingly, rather than sitting amongst the PD specific issues.
Ok, thanks. Issue has been opened at particl-market issues.
I'm closing it here to avoid cluttering particl-desktop issues.
