👋 Hi Product Hunt!
I’m excited to share Amitry Product Category Slider with you.
I built this plugin because I wanted a simple way to create WooCommerce product and category sliders directly in the native WordPress editor. Many existing solutions felt too heavy, required complex setup, or included features I didn’t need.
My goal was to create a plugin that’s:
✨ Lightweight and performance-focused
🚀 Easy to use with the native WordPress editor
🛍️ Built for WooCommerce product and category sliders
📱 Fully responsive and customizable
🆓 Free and open source
I’d love to hear your thoughts, feature ideas, or feedback. Thanks for checking it out! 🙌

The Gutenberg integration sounds nice and clean. One thing I'd love to see is built-in lazy loading or a "load more" button for sliders pulling from large catalogs, since right now it seems like everything loads at once which could slow down product pages with hundreds of items.

@esrabaydil4xo5 Great point, Esra, and it is exactly the area we care about. A couple of things may already help: product images load lazily by default, and the Pro add-on has a Load More button built for large catalogs, so they do not all render up front. On top of that we are working on loading the slider's scripts only on pages that actually use them, which is the bigger win for stores with hundreds of products. Thanks for pushing on performance, it is the right thing to poke at.

Finally a slider plugin that doesn't make me dig through a million settings. Dropped a category slider into a page in like two minutes and it just worked on mobile too.

@hlyaodfp Love hearing this, Hülya. Two minutes from drop to working, mobile included, is exactly what we were aiming for. Thanks for giving it a spin.

Finally a slider plugin that doesn't make me wade through ten pages of settings just to get something basic working. Dropped it into Gutenberg and the category slider looked clean on mobile right away.

@elmasfdth Thanks Elmas. No endless settings pages was a design decision, not an accident, so this made our day. Glad the category slider looked right on mobile straight away.

The fact that this works as native Gutenberg blocks instead of forcing another shortcode mess is genuinely thoughtful. Lightweight sliders for WooCommerce that don’t bloat the backend are rare, this looks cleanly executed.

@necatiy19433 Thanks Necati, that really means a lot. Keeping the backend clean was a deliberate goal from day one, so it is great to hear that came through. Appreciate you taking the time to look.

finally a slider plugin that doesn't feel like it's from 2015, the gutenberg integration actually works smoothly and it didn't slow my store down at all

@ezel656461 Ha, "not from 2015" is a compliment we will happily take. Really glad the Gutenberg side felt smooth and that it stayed light on your store. Thanks Ezel.

the fact that it uses native WordPress blocks in gutenberg is honestly such a smart move, no extra shortcode mess to deal with. Love that it stays lightweight too.

@zmra1131403 Thank you Zümra. Lightweight was the whole point, so we are really glad it comes across that way. Leaning on native blocks kept a lot of the usual bloat out from the start.
