Artist Page Redesign

We just launched our new artist page - Let us know what you think!

First of all, where is the option to upvote submissions? Their dissapearence is so… strange, I think?

We’re uncertain whether the upvote system for artist submissions added meaningful value.

While the rating correctness feature remains (and should be easier to find in the new design), upvoting wasn’t seeing much use. This might stem from confusion about what an upvote represents - is it acknowledging the significance of the submitted product, or the quality of the submission itself?

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this.

I liked the upvote to signify their significance or association with an artist, maybe it could be brought back with a new name?

Do you mean like, Yes I very much think this item is a key part of Spruce Bringsteen's arsenal ? Is the upvote helpful to reinforce that?

I gotta be honest, I'm going to miss the white backgrounds. Otherwise cool.

You can choose light/dark mode by looking for this icon in the Community menu and the footer.

I believe so, yes. Also for gear, the upvote was nice to signify a consensus that something is a good alternative.

I've noticed that gear I've previously marked as 'completely incorrect' is now prominently visible again on an artist's page. I'm not seeing the previous option to hide unverified gear.

I agree, it was useful in this regard.

The new gear icons/squares make for better viewing, but I feel the artist details space takes up too much space on desktop (there's also a lot of negative unused space).

Ah ha! So it just defaults dark. Got it.

Also unrelated, but I do miss the 'Goes With' option even it is rarely used. Maybe it could be a separate category from alternatives.

Is there no longer a way to sort gear by date added? I like the way the new category filters are displayed (guitars, amps, effects, etc.) but I periodically check artists I follow to see what’s new. I don’t want to, for example, have to sift through every pedal Johnny Marr has used to see if there’s anything recently added.

Thanks so much for all the feedback. It’s been super helpful in figuring out what to focus on as we work on Equipboard.

From what we’ve heard so far, it sounds like we need to bring back:

• Upvotes
• Sorting by newest
• Filtering out completely incorrect submissions

We cut a few things to get the redesign out the door faster, but we’ll be adding these back soon. Really appreciate you all sticking with us and sharing your thoughts!

We've brought back the ability to hide submissions that have been marked as incorrect. It is selected by default.

Let us know what you think!

Has anyone else expressed interest in the "goes with" category?

You're specifically talking about on the Product page, not the Artist page, right?

Yeah, I've only seen it on a few older submissions. Like how certain pedals or amps pair together.
