Is there a way to easily feature and have certain products appear on the home page of the out-of-the-box luma theme in magento 2?

Or is that totally a custom built thing?

you could add a products_list widget to the homepage. In the widget you can define conditions which products are shown (for example products of a specific category)

To do this, you cann add a new widget instance of the Products List widget under Content -> Widgets.

When creating a new Widget, you first have to choose the Widget type and the theme where you want it to be inserted.

In the next step you can define the widget instance and its options. To show it on the homepage you have to add a new layout update with specific page -> Home Page and then choose a container, for example main content top.

After clearing the cache it should show on the homepage

    the widget itself is pretty cool compared to the m1 version. we used it today to create a really small module that adds a product slider template to the widget

  • Awesome...my step step was to get a rotating image slider going. I'll look into it right away. Thank you @DavidVerholen!

    the products shown in the widget can be defined in the condition parameter (if tht's what your asking for). We added a new Template to the widget in a module, which adds the slider functionality. Since more people might want to know how to do this (since widgets are barely covered in the devdocs) it would be nice if you could create a new question for this. Unfortunately I don't know a 3rd party module that can do this atm. You have to have some basic knowledge on how to create a magento2 extension for this
