This release focuses on making the filtering experience more visual and intuitive, plus better ways to track items you're interested in.

Visual Range Sliders

Numeric filters like price, weight, and volume now use dual-handle sliders instead of text inputs. Drag the handles to set your range visually, with the fill bar showing your selection. The filter only applies when you release, so you get smooth feedback without constant updates.

For ordered options like documentation quality (Excellent → Good → Fair → Poor), a single-handle threshold slider lets you set "at least this good."

When you switch units or currency, slider bounds update automatically and your selection converts proportionally to the new range.

Smarter Search Dropdowns

The search-style filter dropdowns now open immediately when you click into them, showing the first 8 options alphabetically. Start typing to filter, or just browse what's available. A "+ N more..." indicator shows when additional options exist.

Card Bookmarks

Favorited and compared items now show visual bookmarks in the card corner:

  • Gold star for favorites
  • Blue plus for items in your compare list
  • When both apply, the gold star overlays the blue, which peeks out behind

This makes it easy to spot your tracked items at a glance while browsing.

Compare Page Improvements

The compare page now highlights the "best" option for ordered values. If comparing distros where one has "Good" documentation and another has "Fair," the better option gets highlighted-always relative to what you're comparing, not absolute.

Technical note: Range sliders use overlapping native inputs with CSS-hidden tracks, providing full accessibility while allowing custom styling. No external libraries required.
