I’m having an interesting challenge of potentially having too many sub-categories.

For context, the challenge I see with our current implementation is that in our current implementation there is a near-infinite # of sub-cats that we could add and so this current implementation is unmanageable and unscalable.

One thought is to blow away all of the sub-cats here and use tags… but that is going to be pretty disruptive and confusing (at first, at least). Some folks of our community [have suggested](https://thebitcoin.pub/t/friendly-site-improvement-suggestions/13123?u=john) some other design implementations as well but I don’t like adding tabs into the design.

Thoughts on managing this growing issue?
