Explore Collections - FEM design #7245
Description
The Explore section is the new central exploration space for all Zooniverse collections across all projects. This page replaces the legacy pages at /collections and /favorites.
It is accessed from a user's logged-in collections tabs or a project's Collect pages. Future possibility: link in top right dropdown, or a section in the site nav bar.
Show 20 collection/favorite cards before pagination. Filter option for by project. Sort options include: Recently added to, Alphabetical A-Z, Alphabetical Z-A, Recently created, Most subjects.
Clicking on either MY tab will redirect to the logged-in user collection/favorite pages. Those tabs do not show for a logged-out user or one who doesn't own any collections or favorites.

Ideal backend addition to help exploration: Filter for collections with a minimum of 2, 3, 4 subjects
This was an assumption which was confirmed during user testing: participants do not want to browse collections because of the high volume of noise - collections with 1 subject which don't tell a relationship with their contents.
Tester: "I don’t see the value in browsing because I’m bogged down by the single-subject collections"
Having the choice to filter out those collections with a lower number of subjects would help with the bigger goal of serendipitous discoveries.
