Email from Von with his thoughts:

As a totally non-coder person, firstly I wouldn't be totally positive which tab to click to search for projects. I don't know the difference between content, structure, extend, and configuration. So I wouldn't automatically look under "extend" to browse for projects.

The categories on the left are much more understandable to me as a non-coder.
I can easily see which area I might need to look for specific projects. For example, if I'm looking for an event module, I can click "Event" on the left. I don't understand all of the different modules, but their descriptions are helpful to understand what each of them might be used for. I think this is probably out of scope for PB, but I would like to know some kind of criteria of which kind of event modules would best fit my needs.

Some of them are too technical for me to understand, but I don't think that's necessarily an issue with the categories, moreso my lack of knowledge. I imagine they would be helpful for people who are more technical, and I think it makes sense to have both technical and non-technical categories depending on who is using it. Maybe there could be a higher-level menu filter that says:
Site-builder/No-code Projects
Developer-centered Projects
Or something similar. There would probably be overlap, but it might help for people to better organize?

Something I'm not sure about is the filters system. There seems like there's only 3 different filters, and I'm not sure that I would know what they're for as a non-coder. The way that my brain works is that maybe the categories should be under filters as a dropdown menu, rather than on the left hand side.
