submitted by Rubberdong to TalkDev 2 yearsApr 15, 2022 17:32:28 ago (+2/-8)     (TalkDev)

Hello people,


The reason why I am here, is because I also love VOAT but also hate it and I would like to see it grow and improve.

Sadly, other than make shit memes, waste hours in filing shit, cropping vids...I am not a developer. And I am really hoping that the owners, or someone with a passion will actually improve this place.

Remember, every time big tech censors, WE WIN! VOAT wins. We all crave a place that is clean from leftoids, fags and niggers, and our grandfathers did more to escape them than just build a reddit clone.

SO...lets get started shall we?

1)

"Discuss"
What the fuck does this button do? Does it take me to some kind of chat? Where I can discuss? Oh..ok, it is actually the submit button."COol...let me share this link of Zelensky arresting his own people to exchange with Russians" oh wait...this is a text only! How do I share a link? I cant change the option now..Should had chosen the "share link" button.

So, there should be a single Submit button there, either "Submit" or an Icon, that then allows you to quickly and easily switch between link post, text post or whatever post.


2)Forgot password
Where do I reset my password if I've forgotten it?

and why is there no register button there as well? A large percentage of people accidentally type in sign in when they actually want to register a new account, not just idiots, but people that are being confused by a bad interface or are flooded with too many buttons and information.

3) Mobile interface.

This is what VOAT looks like

This is what POAL looks like
https://pic8.co/d/080314d5-3866-480c-a909-cc04b12478f0.jpg

Look at how much better POAL looks like.

You got the subverse on top, and the creaton on the top right, that stands out easily.
On VOAT you got all of this bullshit that you probably wont even read because it is too confusing.
"submitted by ExRedditor to whatever 3 hours ago"
Takes too much space, confuses, looks ugly.

The upvotes seem to take too much space too on VOAT.



You can have
An image/ video button which allows you to view the link/image/ video.
A comment button which takes you to the comments session.
A save , hide, report button.

4) Looks at this shit...seriously..

This is what happens when you click on submit on mobile

and this is where the submit post is, can you fucking spot it?

5) File sharing
Above anything, this is a file sharing site. We need to easily upload pictures and vids.

the submit link option, desperately needs


An "IMAGE" button which takes you to PIC8 or some PIC8 clone.
A "video" button that takes you to VID8 or a VID8 clone.


6) Branding.
Its been almost a year and the VOAT brand is still alive. Can you remind me again why we cant have VOAT anymore? Is it because the previous owner that pulled the plug out of the blue is being a faggot?

7)Why cant I click on the picture?

If I click here....nothing happens

Edit:

It took me a year to realise that these two take me the posts I have downvoted and posts I have upvoted...cool feature, but how the fuck are new users supposed to know that?

Stopped taking you seriously there, when you somehow managed to get even that wrong.

If Voat is that unintuitive/unusable to you, then you don’t need to comment on how to better it, you need to take a basic web introduction class.

It’s not that Voat is perfect or impeccably designed, it’s that you’re talking about things you clearly don’t understand, including subjects like basic grammar, punctuation and what constitutes a developer.

Go back to poal if you don't like it. The discuss button is for text posts, not links. And the image loaded fine for me when I clicked it. Go be a retarded nigger faggot somewhere else.

I was tempted to give my first downvoat. But you’re not worth it. Hang yourself.

I don't have any complaints.

#5 is because any image hosting site Voat linked to would be targeted and "forced" to disalow Goats from posting there.

[ - ] Rubberdong [op] 0 points 2 yearsApr 16, 2022 06:04:16 ago (+0/-0)

Yeah, but the point is that both PIC8 and VID8 are open source and apparently low cost to use?

And I am not suggesting we use THE PIC8 and VID8.

Even a catbox option at least would be awesome.

Cool!!!

You volunteering to code this for us?

[ - ] Rubberdong [op] 0 points 2 yearsApr 16, 2022 06:09:26 ago (+0/-0)

No. I know I sound like a douche, but I dont know how to code or build stuff up. This is just some feedback.

However, it seems that talk developers already do spend time in all sorts of stuff, like Halloween themes etc.

Rather than have a Christmas theme, or whatever, they could invest the same amount of time in making this site a bit better.

Voat ranks 467k most visited site on the web. The average user opens up 6 links per day and that is heavily distorted by the "locals" that spend literally all day in here chatting (look at the chat, some dudes are here 9 hours a day).

And this keeps on dropping.

Meanwhile, reddit and poal keeps on banning and banning and this is an opportunity for talk.

Well, there is a subverse called ideasforvoat where you can add suggestions like you did.

There is ONE GUY who does this site. Not a massive group of coders. He pays for it out of pocket, he does the coding for it himself as he learns it.

Put your ideas in a presentable format, and try to think a bit technically - not in terms of writing code, but items that can make it better. Instead of "make it look better on mobile, say "detect a mobile device type and scale the screen into a mobile format." Stuff like that can be codable into an idea whereas "make it better" does not.

Also, make each point a separate post. Instead of do these 10 things! List do this 1 thing, 10 different times. System could get each point easier, and put them on his list, or if they are already there, mark it as a second (or third) request, which might help him prioritize his coding time.

Just some constructive criticism.
