It is not about not finding the page when looking for it. It is about forgetting about this thing if you are already in the itch bubble. There just is no incentive to go there. If you look at the header there is Browse advertised when you want to go looking for games. Why would I go to the front page? It is a thing for first time visitors where the itch app is promoted at top.
It would not be such an issue, if the things on the front page would be duplicated and advertised elsewhere. But "fresh" is not even in the Directory. https://itch.io/directory And if you click it, it gets displayed as an unchoseable option in misc. "featured" is only buried as the last option in "misc". The last thing of the last thing. Or in other words, nothing that one would suspect is being promoted on the front page.
Why is fresh and featured not on top of the browse section above platform? Or the randomizer? This is also not in the Directory. Is a link to it anywhere but the very bottom of the front page?
