Thank you Martin!

Yea, nothing like a good ol’ double standard. Not really surprised though. Well at least you learned quick not to waste time on that app.

Didn’t expect this considering there is already so much nudity on there. Well, another one bites the dust. I’ve already found myself giving up on that app anyway because it never seems to load anyway.

Is there a good or preferred way to surface bugs and feature requests to you?

Very kind and appreciated. Thanks man

Yea, they haven’t built any discoverability yet either but it’s on their roadmap. I’m basically just keeping an eye on it for now as I figure out what social I want to land on, if any. Honestly, the fatigue is real and going back to a personal website with only minimal social is winning in my mind

The design isn’t bad and is probably its strongest asset right now but for me it only loads about half the time and is overall feature-poor with a small user base but they’re still new and working on it with a public roadmap. Not really sure if it’ll find any real competitive advantage though.

Photo focused app in early dev. Kind of blending Flickr and IG. It’s trying to get away from typical social elements— no public facing follower metrics. No DMs. Still early and feels more portfolio than social but without the flexibility of a website so not sure where it’s gonna land if it survives.

When my mercury apparatus is being used indoors in my lab it lives in a fume hood which is always on when the apparatus is turned on and at temperature. The negative pressure in the fume hood ensures any free mercury fumes that escape the box during use get pulled and out of the room.

To clarify, I’m not actually saying there’s anything wrong with that and I don’t believe there should be any moral judgement around why someone makes whatever they want to make. It just makes it very obvious why most nude work comes across as it does and falls flat in terms of perception.

A photographer‘s intentions are always revealed in their work one way or another, sometimes obviously and sometimes more subtly but that’s never more true than with a nude.

You remember how big my cameras are. Tripod is unavoidable for me. Although, at a time long ago I did shoot a lot of handheld 4x5 when I missed my Leica days

This just seems like a dramatically over engineered product solving an entirely imaginary problem. That said, if it helps someone out, more power to them— use the tool that works for you. No one else’s opinion matters beyond that.

Yea, if it ends up being nothing more than a portfolio site (which is what it feels like) it’ll likely sink and disappear rather quickly. They would just never be able to compete against feature-rich legacy platforms like Squarespace and similar, plus we don’t need more of those solutions anyway.

I see some promise but am put off by starting over and dealing with yet another app in what seems to be the perpetual fracturing of social. The aesthetic is good but it’s feature-lacking and I’m unsure how it’ll fair when competing against something like the Flashes app and the more well known apps.

Why is your website banned? Because you have nudes? They ban anything that links to any site that has nudes now? This is mindblowing to me.

I’m missing something (my fb has been deactivated for a long while at this point). Are you no longer allowed to have a website watermarked on an image?

I was just thinking how much I missed blogs

If the one they’re providing doesn’t have a diopter adjustment sufficient for you, you may be able to find a better one. Prices tend to very but they usually aren’t overly expensive so maybe buy a few to try. There are not many other ways to achieve critical focus when enlarging.
