Verse Taxonomy & Snippet Repository Design

Project tags:

information architecture

Verse is a new programming language developed by Epic Games and is used by creators in UEFN for custom Island creation. The Epic Developer Community website currently does not have a Verse taxonomy, making Verse-related document retrieval and code searching on their snippet repository difficult. This project looks to generate Verse taxonomy terms to enhance searchability, ensuring relevance and quicker information retrieval, and a repository redesign to improve code posting and findability, thereby enhancing user experience and engagement through content organization. These improvements benefit Epic by optimizing usability, increasing engagement metrics, and reducing indirect costs associated with software development.
