An offer from Patreon (Patreon)
Content
Hello again, friends!
Patreon recently sent me a proposal regarding a new platform model they're developing.
I'm seriously considering being a tester, but first, I wanted to get your opinion because this wonderful adventure doesn't just involve me.
Basically, they want to change the look of the home pages, to create a more useful and defined format.
Rather than arriving on my page and seeing the news feed like you currently do, Patreon wants to divide the page into several categories on different "shelves."
Basically, a shelf is a grouping of several posts of the same type.
So, rather than seeing a continuous feed in chronological order like now, you would be able to see various groupings to choose from, such as:
-Latest posts
-Recent posts
-Collections (partial)
-Popular posts
-All Collections
And some others.
Eventually, I'll be able to customize these shelves with content of my choice. This would allow me to add sections for "tips and tricks," "links and passwords," "important info," etc.
So, when you arrive on my page, you'll have several visual references to different types of groupings, which I believe would greatly help navigation through my projects.
VERY IMPORTANT: If I move forward, the new feature will only be accessible to HALF of my users at first. Once the system is developed, Patreon will implement it permanently for everyone, but for the testing period (a few months), only 50% of my users will see the new platform.
What do you think, my friends? Is it worth trying or not, in your opinion? More clarity in all the posts here wouldn't hurt, in my opinion, but I'm waiting for your opinion on whether we proceed or not!
Go ahead, the comments are open!
