Raise the first milestone to 500, and improve the popularity sorting algorithm
Nowadays so many projects are uploaded daily, clodding the platform and making extremely hard to stood up from the crowd and be seen. Raising the first milestone from 100 to 500 would help skimming the projects with potential from the rest.
Infact, the only way to have visibility is to be on the main page or selected as staff pick, considering that even the popularity sorting algorithm seems to have many flaws (and popularity is the default sorting option).
I tried many targeted researches for different themes, and the results where never allined with the actual popularity of the projects (opposite: many times the top showing results were projects about to expire or that didn't receive a single vote in weeks).
