1) i know its coming, but mobile app is my top wish list.
2) when i go to view a post with with multiple photos on mobile (on safari) , its a bit clunky to try find/ click the right arrow button
3) maybe more emoji reactions. Got spoiled with other platforms lol. Maybe custom account emojis?

@RayronVR I don’t know if this feature is available in Safari, but in Chrome, you can add websites as icons to your home screen. It’s a bit like an app.

@RayronVR I just added emoji’s for the platform so now everybody can use them! Thanks for your feedback. And regarding the app, it is actually my top priority but it is a matter of money. I can only afford to create an app from a certain level of income stream otherwise I can’t afford to keep this platform in the air financially. I am working very hard to at first gain new users and afterwards I will try to get some sponsors/advertisers so the platform can grow and improve the user experience.
I will also look into the button for the images to see if that can be improved!
Thanks a lot for the feedback together we can make this a great platform😀

I’m not sure if it’s my device or the network but the timeline loads slow when I’m scrolling down

@Modeltrainmedia some days depending on the time it gets slow now when the traffic picks up. Usually in the evenings for me when US/Euro folks are jumping online. Nothing too bad yet but certainly been more noticeable over the last couple of weeks since the user counts and activity started ramping up.

@ScottyB I am looking into solutions we are currently looking at hiring a partner to upgrade the site speed however I am all alone as you know and regarding financing I also need to improve so there is more room for investing. When we have some sponsors/partners we can invest more back into the platform. But I am monitoring it!

@Modeltrainmedia yeah it’s all g, I totally get working on something like this and balancing the performance to cost in the early days. That’s why I say it’s nothing bad at the moment, just noticeable that it slows down a little when the international peak periods pick up. It’ll get there!

It would be nice if I could upload videos of slightly larger size than the maximum.
I say it like that because I try to move clips off of Google Photos to my computer and when I do that, even if the clip is under 60 seconds, it says it is to large of a size.1-

@Modeltrainmedia To springboard off that, listing the size limits would help so we know how much we have to downsize anything.

@Danny Hey Danny welcome to the community!
There are already some O scale modelers on the platform but you can be the first to start a group if you’d like!

I’d like to see some sort of tagging system for AI images and writing. It can be pretty frustrating to see a new concept or what appears to be a layout photo, and then find out it’s not real through looking at details.

I’d like to see a dark mode for the site. The white background is very stark.
