@zogstrip will work on revamping the default categories page this week. So far here’s what we have:

- stick to **one** date range for topic count in the category (week, or month, depending on which has enough data)

- use the category color chip in the latest column to identify which category each topic is

- possibly show the date of last reply in a category, under the `9/week` or `12/month`?

- try to re-use one of our existing topic list renderers for the Latest column (maybe mobile topic list would fit there?) – this is literally the same logic as the /latest page in this column
