I wanted to like it, guys, really I did, but for fuck’s sake, there’s ZERO feedback when you longpress photos to try and save them? It’s not in the upper menu? Just “save post”? Then while scrolling the whole app freezes and reloads back to page 1 missing your place.
For the last month, I haven’t been able to see my own account’s posts because of some Cloudflare bug despite being able to use the rest of the site and see everyone else’s profile.
It’s really janky, guys. I’m sorry but someone has to say something other than see for yourself.
I saw for myself and it’s pretty mid ngl
Blorp absolutely does not “suck” and this user either has a problem or is just generally rude.
throughout my nearly 3 years making Photon I’ve had my fair share of hate comments, including one thread on a post, by someone encouraging people to check photon out, filled with people absolutely dunking on it.
your software is great enough to be noticed and hosted by several Lemmy and piefed instances, and you’ve got nearly 1000 or more users on a client for a super niche platform. you’ve done something right.
speaking from experience, hate comments really do dig into you even amongst a sea of positivity, but I hope you know that the opinion of 1 immature person does not matter in the grand scheme of things.
one more thing: people are much more likely to speak out when they have a problem versus when they enjoy some software. I guarantee you for every person either leaving feedback or complaining, there are 10 more silently enjoying your app.
