Offtop's beat-sharing platform is essential for musicians who need to organize and share their music files with collaborators. However, as the platform grew, users increasingly struggled with finding relevant beats efficiently, relying solely on file names and basic search functionality that couldn't capture the nuanced attributes of their music.

Takeaways
The rollout of the new system was carefully planned to ensure smooth adoption. We started with a beta group of power users who provided valuable feedback on tag categories and the overall user experience.
