Is it just me, or the search and discovery experience in the new framer community feels a little confused right now? Building a community around Framer is a positive step, but community content and marketplace content serve very different purposes.
If someone is trying to find a particular category of templates, why would they want posts to appear before templates in the search results? Discovery should feel focused and intentional depending on what the user is trying to do.
Currently Journey:
Search - overall search results appear - small button at the bottom saying see all results - posts appear first - tab at the top to view templates
There are definitely tweaks that could make this work better, and I'm sure the experience will evolve over time. But for now, I'm skeptical about merging a community platform with a marketplace, especially when both audiences arrive with completely different goals.
