I'm hesitant to provide anything critical, because I know the hard work that goes into putting a product out there and overall I think it's a great job. So I'll evaluate from a user experience perspective.

For me, I'm not a fan of the text under "Welcome to SPFound". The letters appear too close together and coupled with the fact that it's on a slant, it makes it hard for me to read.

I also think the filter by category is a little confusing. It's hard to tell by clicking on a category if anything is happening. It wasn't until I clicked on Software when everything disappeared did I realize that it was filtering and at that point it removed everything. A couple suggestions for improvements would be:

  • Only have filtering categories if an item exists in that category. So there may not be a need to include a Software filter currently.
  • Indicate somehow which one is the active filter. If I click on website, maybe it should indicate that filter is active and clicking it again would remove it.
  • I think the filters are a great thing to have in the future, but they may not be needed while the list is small and easy to see. Only when it becomes larger are they more important. Otherwise their functionality may be confusing.

Hope those suggestions help to spark some creative ideas. Great work!
