Patreon Feedback Talk and a drawing of Libby
🕑 Added 2023-10-05 16:38:08 +0000 UTCBetween posting the monthly report and today there's suddenly a whole new patreon refresh?
If you've used the new app or checked it out on browser, what do you like about it?
Any new features I could try to make use of that you think would be fun?
I have some opinions on the blob, I mean logo, but I do appreciate the problems they're trying to solve for creators on the internet and how dismal it feels to be making work for the algorithm.

The main thing I'm looking at making use of is the 'early access' feature for followers vs. patrons. Since the non-comics things that I make I typically share to twitter publicly anyways, I'm thinking I might set some of that work up to become public on here after a week or so.
The overwhelming impression I've gotten from my conversations with you all is that you're just the nicest people that just want to support what I'm doing and don't care about how I post anyways😭💕
I may put together a poll to survey any big changes I'm considering to get your feedback, generally but let me know if there's anything big you love/hate already.
Thank you for reading all this! Your reward is a very WIP moment of my next Libby & Holly Page :)

Yeah, if I want to see more than one post from a person, I'll click their avatar. But also yeah, it's the necessary middleman at the moment. I'm interested in an alternative that's in the works, but it's not even out yet, so, I mean, alas. Here we are.

I'll be honest, I find the redesign terrible. It feels like every web designer from the last fifteen years has some sort of vendetta against chronological lists. I understand that there's a value to having the creators' posts grouped together, but I genuinely miss just being able to scroll down and get a variety of the content I've subscribed to, nevermind the ability to just return to the feed from the last place I interacted with it. Regardless, however, I'm here to support your content; Patreon is an unfortunately necessary middleman entity, and we are beholden to their design decisions, to some degree. I've enjoyed every comic of yours I've read, and I'm excited to see new things from you. Make what you're feeling!

That does seem like a nice feature. Do you navigate through people's posts with the collections? I made one for comics and for the CYOA but I'm wondering about other ways of collecting my works 🤔

I like that it puts the last 3 updates together under each user so you don't have to go searching
