Scratch

THIS IS BEING PLANNED FOR 2.0!!!

When viewing a project I usually view it because I like that sorta project so if I wan't to see another project similar to that project I need to return to the search bar.

However I think to add some easier navigation to the Scratch website there should be a side bar (much like the one 'More projects by [username]) called 'Related projects' which should feature projects related to the one you are viewing.

Pros:
Easier navigation
You can view things that you like quickly and easily.
Projects are more easily viewed thus making less people quit.
Projects that are old which didn't get any views may get views.

Cons:
People might find other projects being advertised on their project upsetting.
Solution: You can toggle the 'Related projects' tab/side bar.
If it is related by tags, which would be the best way, anyone can add tags that aren't related to the project. Which means you may be lead to a completely different project.
Solution: Only the tags added by the creator of the project are recognised.

Post what you think about this idea.
