Just saw my first "watcher-only deviation", a piece of artwork that is apparently blurred out until you follow that artist. What the heck is that about? Haha. Kind of a dumb feature honestly. I'm not going to watch you without seeing your work, ever. So why the weird baity method of getting followers? Kind of silly and annoying. I'd just as soon keep scrolling. In all likelihood it'll just end up with people following to peep that one piece, changing their minds and then unfollowing again. But in this case I just went to their profile and saw the kind of stuff they made. Wasn't for me so I moved on. Also hit that little.. 'show less like this' thing to see how that works. Hopefully the algorithm catches my meaning but I doubt it. Still seems strange that they'd add that feature but still no quick and easy way of muting or hiding specific posts or artists... but hey, maybe with enough data it'll work out.

Spent some time trying this eclipse thing. Needs work but they seem on the ball at the moment. Hope they work out the weirdness. Moved some folders around and sorted stuff, spent quite a long time moving things from scraps. Back in the day I used to put everything in scraps that wasn't like.. an illustration or something close to what I considered 'complete'. Now I see it more as a folder for wips and really rough junk. Galleries are all out of order though. Can't sort by date yet. Hope they add it soon, and maybe give us some of our customization back. They blew up a lot of stuff and jammed it all down one long column. It's awful at the moment. Need to scale things down a bit and give us back some of our options. Gallery folders along the left with the art on the right is ideal. Don't need to reinvent the wheel here. Not sure why you'd put out an update that shows less upfront and demands a ton of scrolling... but again I'm sure they'll iron it out.
