Moisés Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I have seen that this forum has a section where people share the work and it would seem ideal for me to have a social network with this initiative. Some of us already do it in the social networks that exist, but if there was one of Affinity, it could be used for everything that this web page serves.

Moisés Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 today there are social networks for very specific sectors (cooking, art, botany ...). One for Affinity users would be very useful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What can be more easy to interact like here? We can quote, post, like, link, show images and videos, attach files. Why should Serif split this rather lively and with many informative posts and discussions into different sites. I think it would blurr the focus. d.

Moisés Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 It's an opinion, it seems to me that the app is much more ordered and visual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Rostron Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I have, so far, managed to avoid using any social media, apps or otherwise. Like @Dominic, I find the Affinity forums provide all that I want.

Moisés Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 for example, the part where users put their work with Affinity is not as visual as it is in an app (instagram, facebook, etc) In addition, the web could be integrated with the app, thus giving service to those who prefer it in one way or another.

Staff Patrick Connor Posted July 12, 2018 Staff Share Posted July 12, 2018 We are a small company. There will be no Affinity forum/sharing app "like instagram or Facebook". I suggest that you use instagram, or Facebook. Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!

Like @Dominic, I find the Affinity forums provide all that I want. John I am not sure how far away a "forum" is from a social app/medium. You have an avatar and post things that others and the world can see. The only difference I can come up with is that Serif makes their money through their Software and not through Big Data and Advertisement like Facebook. @Moisés Also if you prefer to show your work in a social network why not use Instagram as suggested. I am sure you can put a nice link in your signature to your channel and also post links to your artwork here. In this way you can connect things.

douglasrthomson Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 You could try setting up a slack channel and ask people to join. I'm not sure there'd be much enthusiasm for it - but I could be wrong. I think this forum works well enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La única diferencia que puedo llegar a es que Serif hace su dinero a través de su software y no a través de grandes datos y publicidad como Facebook. @Mois és También si prefieres mostrar tu trabajo en una red social, ¿por qué no utilizar Instagram como se sugiere. Estoy seguro de que usted puede poner un buen enlace en su firma a su canal y también publicar enlaces a su obra de arte aquí. De esta manera se pueden conectar las cosas. I post my works on Instagram. Actually it was just a suggestion. I do not pretend anything else, it occurred to me when I saw that the works published here are not easy to see, you have to click one by one. it seems more visual to me in the style of social networks.

Good point, it is not very visual in the forum. In this regard it may seem a little 'old school' (which I don't mind because I myself am old school ) I want to point you to https://affinityspotlight.com/, in case you don't know the site. At the moment it is more of a magazine like site. But it could have the potential to be expanded in something you have in mind. d.
