What is supposed to happen when I click "Save Preset"? I'm imagining that I'd get prompted for a name to use, and then if I click on "Select Preset" I'll get a menu of all the ones I've defined (and maybe some baked-in ones?). Is that right? We don't need to implement it for the mockup, but it'd be good to explain how it's intended to work in that case.

There's one more category-specific item shown on all categories, "edits". Could you please add it? In addition to showing the expected spacing a little more, eventually we should think about some way of signalling that there are suggested edits pending, so having it there might elicit some ideas.

"Tags: " + a list of tags -- does that mean a question is included if it has any of them, or only if it has all of them? I think you probably meant "or"; is there some way to convey that in the UI?

There are global links, which are in the blue header (or the user widget). There are categories, which are visibly "tabs". Under the categories and above the category description, there are category-specific links -- posts, tags, and ask question. To my eye these are kind of "floating" and not obviously about the category. I don't know what presentation would be clearer; the current design puts those all in a stripe of the same color as the selected category tab, so that's clear, but this design has a "lighter" look and doesn't use color or stripes in that way. So this is a vague "we need to do something" issue without any concrete ideas, sorry.

Don't know -- maybe if "posts" and "tags" were flush right, to the left of the "ask" button, and there were a thin rule under them all or something? I am not a designer...

The baked-in filters (which yes I know are just placeholders) include one that's keyed on accepted answers. Codidact doesn't have answer acceptance, so let's remove that distraction from the mockup.

I was going to suggest replacing it with "exclude questions with more than 3 answers" (just as an arbitrary point), then realized that the first one could be generalized. What do you think about "exclude questions with __ answers", where the __ is a textbox where you can typa number?

I realize this is a mockup and the exact filters don't matter much right now, but if we can make them resonate a little better for people, that's cool. :-)
