My profile has shitposts, visual stories, articles and videos in one feed. If you came for one kind, you scroll past the rest. Idea: post categories. A thread 🧵

Only three choices. No way to filter by topic.

Fix 1, while posting: a "+ Category" chip next to "Everyone". Pick a category, or create a new one like a Gmail label. Try it 👇

Orders fell 12%. I traced it to one checkout step.

The rules, kept simple:

Optional Create on the spot One category per post Visitors can filter Fix old posts later

Why build it: visitors find what they came for, creators reach the right audience for each kind of post, and profiles turn into more follows. I'd track follow rate after a profile visit, creators who set up categories, and posts that get one.

What could go wrong: Posting feels slower: keep it optional and remember the last pick. Messy duplicate names: suggest existing ones as you type. Old posts stay untagged: suggest a category from the text. Thoughts?
