Been playing with a new design for the search screen. This change was prompted by a user who wanted a faster way to access subscribed communities. This design also suggests some communities to users which could be cool.

For suggestions, I have a few options. I think the best way to implement it would be to create a server that generates community suggestions however this would incur a monthly cost. I think if I go this route I will create the start of a backend for Summit and open source it. The ideal situation is to get the monthly server cost covered by donations but I can also cover the cost. It should be around ~10-15 CAD/mo.

If any one has any suggestions/concerns feel free to comment.

    I’ve begun collecting data for the trending communities feature. I will let it run for ~a week before I start using it in the app.
