## 20 · Ecosystem Index
|
|
|
|
Multiple discovery surfaces — featured / latest / by category / by people. The platform's value is emergence and browsing, not declaration.
|
|
|
|
- **Heading:** brief positioning paragraph; no display.
|
|
- **Body:** several horizontal rails or grids — each surfacing a different cut of the platform's content.
|
|
- **Divider:** rail-titled bands.
|
|
- **Button:** "See more →" at each rail's edge; rarely a global CTA.
|
|
- **Image:** thumbnails everywhere; the page is dense imagery.
|
|
- **Reveal:** none.
|
|
|
|
Reach for it for community platforms, content marketplaces, design-asset stores, any UGC/curated catalogue front page.
|
|
|
|
Avoid for single-product pages. Ecosystem needs multiple things to surface.

**Sample opening lines** (imitate the *specificity* — Ecosystem Index openings are surface labels, dated, with a count):
|
|
> *"Featured · Latest · By category."* — three discovery surfaces named, divided
|
|
> *"What's on this week · Editor's pick · The whole catalogue."* — names cadence, curation, breadth
|
|
> *"A toolkit for assembling new worlds from the scraps of the old."* — are.na — second-position copy that breaks template
