i appreciate the use of Pepsi Gravitational Pull Document as lorem ipsum copy

also i can deeply relate to the mold thing, it happened to moo too when i moved into this house. i was havin' to take allegra daily and then after roommate passed, dad took a look at the window AC while they were in town for the summer and... that thing was fulla mold, so we pulled it apart to clean it

oh hey, that's cool!

oh this is rad, and I look forward to when it ships. thank you for making cohost!!

oh i very much like that feature! i can definitely already think of several instances just in the past few weeks where that would have been useful to have so i am excited to see it!

Oh this looks sick, love it

Yes! Yes!

the new view looks sick, can't wait to see it!

i lived in a mouldy damp house for two years. it was the worst. hope it clears up for you soon jae!

HEY THIS IS A COOL AS FUCK FEATURE

It's miles ahead of other socials which just kinda got stuck on "timeline" as prime way to view the site. Great work!

edit: this would be especially cool if it also is combined with a Lists-like feature or "tag a user (private visibility only) to create custom feeds or something. but that's a lot more work ofc :)

ooh, looks neat - it'll be nice to be able to follow more active posters without drowning out the more infrequent voices I follow! thanks for making cohost

Busting it down kitty kat style

(thanks for making cohost!)

Very interested to see this new feature, and it's very similar to the type of thing that I wish platforms like Twitter had as an option.

The whole problem with timeline-driven stuff is that I feel like everything gets buried! I think this could be a cool fix.

Related to the "following page sucks" point, I agree. If I wanted to get to the profile page of someone I follow, it was almost always easier to go to the search page instead. However, this is mostly due to the incremental loading, and lack of a "filter this list" feature in both the following and followers page.

*chanting "YES!" like Jotaro Kujo but if he saw a seal approaching him at the aquarium*
This is EXACTLY what I've been waiting for!

I'm especially interested in this new feature for the sake of Cohost's identity.
A lot of people I've talked to have brushed off Cohost as "it's pretty similar to Tumblr." Having this RSS-feed-style tab might help it stand out as a particularly good place for people to post art and project updates.

This looks really cool, and as someone else mentioned, feels like the first thing that makes cohost feel really distinct. I'm looking forwards to it! I can imagine this being really useful for artists, since now people can just check their feed to see their work and not worry about like, optimal posting hours.

Oooh, that looks awesome! that'll make keeping up with cool people and projects much easier than having a tab open with their profile. I think that's basically the only downside for a chronological timeline. thanks for making cohost!

!!!! guys I think we need to give cohost a bigger budget

WAIT WAIT LET EM COOK THIS IS DOPE

The new Following page is really cool! It's nice to see new ideas in the content organization space. The last thing I've seen that went against the default timeline view is Fraidycat, and I think I like this better! It certainly works better for the kind of site that Cohost is.

This sounds SUPER cool and has a ton of potential! Looking forward to the launch!

Do y’all plan to have unread indicators? (My assumption is no but just checkin)

this rocks :)

huh! how interesting! i really appreciate experimenting with the concept of "social media" to find the kinder version of twitter-style scrolling to stay updated. faster, still no emphasis on "infinite feed"

really curious how this will turn out, what a novel idea :0

For sorting, you gotta have an ascending/descending option as I could see a use for first to last followed and reverse alphabetical.

and for us sickos, a randomized option.

Also something like this for tags could be cool.

Timeline goes sideways (positive)

Will "most recent post" include or exclude shares without additions?

this reminds me of google wave (in a good way)

This shit owns! Thank you, I can see this being a huge help with sharing longform stuff.

Oh, this looks amazing!

oh this looks sick as shit, right on

Oh this is heckin' nice design! Looking forward to playing with this!

(sorry about the mold, not my fault I swear, I only deal in structurally sound fungi)

i love this idea a lot, thank you!

i can't tell from the image but i hope it has unread indicators for pages

This is a big improvement.

Big Fan Of This Right Here

The proposed following view RULES. It’s honestly such a unique feature that can’t be used as “cohost is like xyz site” - no, this would be defining, and I’m excited.

cohost is truly the best website

so fuckin jealous you got to build an email UI

oh my god what this is wicked

woah, that seems extremely useful, that's awesome!!

I love the fact that you looked at a page that was being underutilized and completely re-imagined the potential use case of said page. This is really clever and I’m looking forward to seeing this launch!

this is gonna be so good!!!! yay :3

this rules this rules this RULES

My one request is that if this is implemented that we are able to select an option to make this the default landing page when loading cohost

Oh man this looks fresh! Color me intrigued and excited for this!!

Also using the pepsi logo document for placeholder text is an excellent choice lmaooo

oh this is really really cool - it reminds me of my erstwhile project to basically follow each account I'm following's RSS feeds in a reader so I could do this process (with tags of accounts to group them/go through them). obviously that overwhelming but I love the idea of being able to do it from within Cohost - and as everyone else is saying, it's a very cool and specifically cohost feature

this new viewing system sounds wonderful, i'm excited to see it! thanks for your hard work everyone!

oh this sounds like an absolutely lovely feature; the only thing i might suggest is that it would probably be good to group follows as well if possible? something like twitter's lists or rss categories, so i could say, sort out only all the art profiles or all the 18+ profiles without having to make multiple accounts to follow multiple sets of people; honestly though i would absolutely use this even with just the features listed cuz this is such a cool way to do social media

Oh my God as someone who lives off of RSS feeds to keep up with all my webcomics I LOVE THIS 🔥 if it ain't broke don't fix it baby 😎

how/will this work on mobile?

I was actually planning to build almost precisely this (I call it “Peach style” based on the social app that somehow still exists) when the API was available so uhhhh thanks for saving me the effort! I found this way of organizing things super good for connecting with people more closely.

I'm a bit confused on how the new style would help not miss things? If things already disappear on your timeline because there's too much activity, wouldn't they also disappear in an email like client? Or would that view be separate from the regular timeline? I guess I'm just confused on how this'll help?

Warning in advance that I will be moderately annoying abt filing email tickets if the new version doesn't play nice with me folding and unfolding my big dumb phone, I will not be offened if it's not prioritized and considered a fringe issue tho lol at least cohost generally works better than youtube in this regard

YES, A FRAIDYCAT UI, IT'S WHAT I'VE ALWAYS WANTED

this rules! god there's so much potential here for like... a separate channel for all the grouped shares your followers made of posts whose author you don't follow... damn

We all need some Tequila Sunset in days like these.

Love the new feature idea, hope funding continues to make it a reality.

Heck yeah, this actually seems like a great way to balance ensuring you see updates without jamming them in your face or using an algorithm. I'm kinda surprised I haven't really seen it before, tho I guess it's less practical with large following counts.

I reckon having a blip graph to show the reader that their following has recently made a post that has made a "big effort" post would encourage them to check it out faster.

A la Fraidycat style :)

interested to see how this new feature turns out!

i've been wondering, is there a plan to make it so a user can search more than one tag at once?

oh ok this fucks?? i've always wanted something like this on the Social Medias and im super excited to try it out

chirasul

did anyone else try to follow tequila sunset

yo this fucking rules god damn

Something new and cool and good? What the fuck? Isn't that illegal? Won't you get shut down by the Internet Police for not sucking enough?

Looking forward to the new feature, thanks for cohost~

really exciting stuff, and a really fresh new feed look!

This absolutely whips

YES.

YES. A big dumb feed is agony to try and keep track of things when you follow more than a handful of people, this is what I waaaaaant.

Can we also have a 'mark as read' functionality so we can say 'yes I have caught up with this person's things, I can clear them out for now' and have them pop up again when they post something?

This is really cool. That feature reminds me of RSS, which is already 90% of how I interact with Tumblr (and webcomics, and other blogs, and...).

Actually, are there any plans on implementing RSS or Atom feeds for cohost blogs?

Genuinely, thank you!!! It can be tough to keep up with folks when you follow enough people and the timeline's zoomin. This will make it super easy to catch up on friends and not miss anything 💙

A note for a dream (contingent on technical feasibility, of course): it would be good to provide a similar view to this for tags, or to even outright repurpose this one or even combine the two, and to allow the creation of your own lists of users/tags to follow together instead of (or in addition to) your aggregate list of all followed users/all bookmarked tags. This could then generalize everything into a view similar to this, allowing you to see your followed users/bookmarked tags/lists and to drill down into the lists and see the users/tags within them as well as an aggregate feed of posts from all users/tags in that list. This allows the construction of your own The Cohost Global Feed without requiring a great deal of navigation to follow multiple topics or having only one aggregate feed when you need A Scrollable Page To Vibe To. Being able to have lists filter with their own silenced tags/content would also be kinda neat (so you could e.g. have an art list that filters NSFW without having to globally silence/muffle NSFW content) but I don't know that it's worth the development resources to go that far

this is an awesome update but omg good luck to jae for dealing with the black mold!

This has Google Reader vibes and I like it.

Might be one of the most exciting new features yet. Can't wait.

cool and nice

Ohhh this is so cool!!!! I know Cohost pages already have RSS feed support, but it'd be really cool if this view had an RSS button for each person you follow!

cohost keeps winning, this feature is everything I wanted

love the sound of the new feature, reminds me of how twitch used to sort people you were following by their latest vod date which is something i desperately miss, made it so easy to keep up with people. happy to see something similar here!

This is AMAZING.

It has probably been suggested already, but we'd like a category system for the following page, as an extension of pinning. So we can keep track of what friends are up to, keep up with folks that make cool projects, have a category for folks who we follow for art or writing. Fluffies follow beings very quickly, but there are some we want to keep track of more closely than others, or when we want different things. As always, cohost is incredible. Thank you <3 So much. For all the energy you put into this.

what a neat idea! can't wait to see it in action cx

Whoa, this new feature is very, very cool!

that looks super cool!!

checking patch notes after not doing so for a while and get hit by this one big feature made me seredipitly very happy 😊 that feels a very right move ™ 😊

I like the idea of getting our timeline like an newsreader/email client, would it be feasible to be able to sort in any way we could want ? Like give us some default sort ( like the one mentioned ) + some kind of "order your timeline yourself" ?

oh wow I am very excited about the new feature!!

This is super cool and I'm really excited for it to roll out !!

I had a read through of the comments and I saw a few people mentioning things like twitter's lists feature, as well as being able to group things on your own end for organisation purposes. I think being able to group pages together into lists for your own browsing is a great idea, and I also think being able to have collectives of pages to help people discover other pages and for pages to get more traction on their posts is a great idea... but I dont think twitter lists style is the right way to do it for the latter.

There's one really big issue with twitter's lists and it's the way that it's used as a tool for harassment. Anyone can make a public list and add users to it, and now that list exists, which means people can make a list of people to target and suddenly you have a new harassment campaign.

I think a better alternative to look to would be deviantart's groups feature! Someone can make a page collective, they can invite people to join their collective, and/or people can request to join the collective, and the collective can either be set to be manually approved by the collective's owner (and mods perhaps), or it can have automatic approval allowing anyone to join the collective immediately. This way nobody is ever nonconsensually grouped together onto a list.

It also opens up the possibility of taking further inspiration from groups, such as being able to have moderators to help manage it, and also being able to make posts to the collective itself like group journals on deviantart, which could be used to run events! I think that'd be neat for community building stuff :)

Oh hell yeah this is pretty cool! Thank you!!
