Cosmos: Search & Discover

I absolutely love this platform. I became so upset with what Pinterest has turned into with AI slop and ads and all the comments, etc. When I would block the AI and block the ads, Pinterest would end up with holes in my feet where the AI and the ads would have been and then started running slow slower. With AI on the rise and more awareness about how we consume media, what I love is the simplicity of cosmos and how it's beautiful images with no comments underneath and you can scroll through things that inspire you and then it doesn't feel like you're being bombarded with "noise" that has been proven to not be good for our mental health, it instead becomes more of an ASMR experience again. and I think that's really key and really critical and really important. It truly becomes a sanctuary for inspiration. I promote this platform to everyone I know.

I like the aesthetics of the app, however it needs some improvement. First of all I don’t understand why the feed doesn’t update or reload fast enough most of the times I need to wait about 24 hours for my feed to update if I drag down the screen to force it to reload it just doesn’t. This makes me close the app as soon as I get bored with the current pictures and only go back like a day after. Next, if you click on one picture of the feed you can’t close it unless you press directly on the arrow button at the top left of the screen, which I understand. However, if we take pinterest as an example I’m able to use just one hand for all of my manipulations. In other words, I suggest you make the display of the chosen image so that it can be closed by quickly dragging it down, instead of looking for the arrow. Another thing is I don’t understand how can I promote my works and gain followers. Where am I supposed to post pictures so they appear for other users? Is my feed made of other’s content or is it the selection from the developers? Can my content possibly appear on the other’s feed? Can I promote my content? Will there be comments under pictures? Any connection to other users? Now it feels kinda lonely in the app. I get the idea of pure aesthetic, but it’s super clean and soulless as of right now. I would be really happy if you could respond with some answers for my questions. Best of luck in developing!
