TL;DR: The “recently active” feed part of the Tabs widget, but filterable by a specific category OR public tag. 

Current state: The only widget we have that displays as a post feeds in the Tabs widget with the “Recently active” and “Unanswered questions” feeds. 

  • Additionally, each of the Ideations and Product Updates pages have a “List” widget feed of those types of topics, but neither is available in the widget library or outside those modules. 

Desired future state: 

  • Filterable widget - by category, multiple categories, or public tags (or moderator tag - nice to have)
  • Displays topics as a feed similar to this: 

 

 

Use Cases: 

  • Custom pages currently in beta program
  • Topic-based overview/resource pages (likely a custom page, but maybe also on home page, or overview pages)
  • Persona-based pages

An alternative option would be a complete revamp of the category pages to make them customizable with widgets, rather than just the featured content lists anchored to the top. But I think this widget is going to be critical to the success of customizable pages outside of just child categories. There are many use cases for showing a segmented feed of content along side the other resources highlighted as quicklinks, featured content, etc. 

+1, and 

a Custom leaderboard showcasing engaged users in that context :) 


You got my vote as well!
