Will it be easy to switch between accounts? I have my own / and then I have a company account where I follow the students and leave comments with that. So far, looks like I can only sign-out / and then sign back in.
What if I want to follow that crazy political ranter guy in my email... but I don't want it in my feed in the app? It looks like there isn't a way to filter that besides unsubscribing - which will likely lead me to unsubscribe from people - that I normally wouldn't - to keep the app feed tidy.
What if I want notifications, but only for some of my favorite publications? Looks like it's just over-all so far.
Will I be able to edit a typo of mine / in the app? Doesn't look like it.
Will I have to add this app address to my Vimeo privacy/sharing so that my included videos can be embedded in it?
S the small box of files icon an archive button? As in / "here's your box of old files" - or as in "this will archive some amount of things when you press it." It's archive all. What is this bell - probably notification settings? No. It's "Activity" - of which I have none / and I do not understand. Seems like my inbox is the activity. So, maybe comments on my publication?
Again - already wishing for a filter because my inbox is showing the exact 3 publications I don't want to see on the app and nothing more.
What will pushing the substack icon do. Nothing? Seems like it should take me "home" - to what I would presume to be my inbox. Nope. But there is an icon of an incoming mail office box thing. That's the inbox. OK. Library icon - is not good. Doesn't read as a book at all. (to me) and - my list of publications - is not a "book." So - it's not a great icon to begin with / and it looks like spit pane anyway.
Still searching for a way to flip between my own accounts.
But overall - on part with Substack - and a positive move forward. However, I would have preferred to have a better signup module that we could style to match our sites / and other added features / over an iOS app.
How will setting all of the type close and closer to the same size, removing any any contrast for visual hierarchy, adding muddy zeros, removing any unique character, removing any syntax highlighting differentiation, removing any visual anchors, removing underlines on inline code with links, having nothing to visually reign in rags, adding more space around just - everything, smaller button areas, and a hidden search bar... help anyone? But there's dark mode.
I know that we're going to be weirded out by any* changes... because we look at this daily - but all of these changes are exactly what the books say to "not do." I'm just totally blown away at what has happened here. I'm sorry to anyone who was on the team at this time. I mean, I'm sure you mean well. And I know that most of the docs team was let go recently. But this thing feels white labeled. Didn't they show it to anyone as they were building it? This is about "changing it" - instead of improving it. Well, it's changed! But - now it's worse. I'm pretty sure that's an objective truth. If not, please explain it to me. I'm happy to evolve. Are the jump-to links new? I like jumping to examples...
I'm going to create a "Free" service where you can just "freely" choose to stop creating these totally useless and backward pieces of production art.
Then, you might see the unicorn out there in the mist... the UX person who can actually just "make the prototype" and the design system - instead of inspiring hundreds of useless meetings to deliberate over a flat perversion.
I like paying for things. Good things. And when I pay for good things... (and they are managed well) - they inspire people to make more good things.
This whole "Free" thing... is costing us all - big time.
I prefer smaller stores. Probably not going to miss them. If I can't get something local, for some reason Sweetwater has been my go-to for the last 20 years.
What I don't understand is "filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy" == "Guitar Center, which owns nearly 300 stores across the country, said business operations will continue without any interruption."
