What is the best strategy to filter products in the Store? | Medusa Community | Page 1

I find the next js starter really cool, but I think navigating through products is not very intuitive. The categories are displayed on the footer only by default. In the mobile sidebar menu, there is no way to navigate through the categories.

For sake of simplicity, I'd like the user being able to filter through features and categories once he's directed at the store page that displays all products.

Currently there is the sortBy feature, I'd like to add a "Filter by".

How do you think I can achieve this in a scalable and robust way?

Thanks

Hey @ancient hornet — I'm wanting to add several filters to my storefront so users can get really specific search results.

Did you have any luck solving this for your store? If so would you mind giving some tips on how? I'm wondering if you ended up using a combo of Categories and Custom Attributes?

Thanks.
