Many, many congrats on the 2 years @rrhoover!
I hope this comes across as constructive but If I'm honest, I'm not a fan of the new carousel based design on desktop. It's turned what was a simple scrollable easily-consumable feed into something that requires clumsily clicking a small arrow to see the rest of the days hunts for that category. The space required by each hunt is also larger now meaning less hunts get highlighted.
I understand the desire to want to surface content from the other categories, I'm just not certain this step back in terms of usability is worth it. I also have a worry that once a product is in the first pane of each carousel, it will not leave and other items in the latter panes will not replace them even if they would have usually.
Congrats again on the launch. I hope this is the kind of feedback you were after even if it's not particularly positive.
