Description
Summary
Add dedicated filtering pages for tags and locations in Techtribes. Users will be able to navigate to dedicated pages for each technology tag and geographical location, with support for hierarchical location filtering (country → city).
Note: This implementation focuses on separate tag and location pages only. Combined filtering (e.g., /tags/javascript/locations/helsinki) has been intentionally excluded to keep the implementation simpler and avoid generating hundreds of static pages.
Problem Statement
Currently, the Techtribes site displays all communities on a single page. As the number of communities grows:
- The homepage becomes cluttered and harder to navigate
- Users cannot easily discover communities by specific interests (tags) or locations
- No direct URLs exist for sharing filtered views
- SEO opportunities for specific technologies and locations are missed
Goals
- Create dedicated pages for each tag (e.g.,
/tags/javascript) - Create dedicated pages for locations with hierarchical support (e.g.,
/locations/finland,/locations/finland/helsinki) - Make tags and locations clickable throughout the site
- Maintain SEO-friendly URLs and metadata
- Enable future expansion to handle growing community count
URL Structure
Prefixed URLs to avoid namespace conflicts:
/tags/:tag # All communities with a specific tag
/locations/:country # All communities in a country
/locations/:country/:city # All communities in a specific city
Examples:
/tags/javascript- All JavaScript communities/locations/finland- All communities in Finland/locations/finland/helsinki- All Helsinki communities
User Experience
- Organic filtering: All filtering happens through clickable tags and locations within the content itself
- No separate filter UI: No filter buttons, dropdowns, or sidebars
- Clickable tags: Each tag badge on a community card links to that tag's page
- Clickable locations: Location text on each card links to that location's page
- Related filters: Each filter page shows related tags/locations for discovery
- Breadcrumb navigation: Clear hierarchy (e.g., "← Back / Finland")
Key Features
- Tag pages showing all communities with that technology
- Country-level location pages showing all communities in that country
- City-level location pages showing communities in specific cities
- Statistics on each filter page (community count, upcoming events, etc.)
- Related filters for cross-discovery
- SEO-optimized with proper meta tags and structured data
- Sitemap generation including all filter pages
- Mobile-responsive design
Implementation Notes
- Built for the Remix rewrite (see
docs/remix-rewrite.md) - Static site generation for all filter pages
- TypeScript with full type safety
- Uses shadcn/ui components and Tailwind CSS
Detailed Plan
See docs/separate-pages.md for the complete implementation plan with code examples, architecture details, and phase-by-phase breakdown.
Prerequisites: Remix rewrite must be completed first (issue TBD)
