[This might be totally wrong and please remember I have much less of an intuition about UX than you, but]
This seems to be focusing on visual components like “tabs” instead of the thing which would be intuitive to me, which I’d call “search capabilities”. I’d personally be happy to have all the searchable content of the forum pushed into some DB that works well with search, and use some open source search-UI that someone else built for that DB. This PR seems like rebuilding a UI like that which probably exists already, no?
[remember my disclaimer!]
[I can find a specific UI that seems nice to me if that would help]
