I mean, just off the top of my head . . .
The faulty ink conversion system problems that were pointed out in a separate thread that were never followed up on despite being assured by staff that they would.
The 'politics' concerning the site-wide beta test push that has annoyed plenty and hasn't had any sort of real benefit beyond being another LINE Webtoons clone.
The bare bones novel tools and visibility opportunities (compared to comics) that seem to have gone largely ignored since their initial release with no hope of becoming any more sophisticated than Notepad++.
The lack of transparency between staff and community that's become more and more limited as the years and updates go by.
I can keep going lmao I know you guys are undoubtedly working hard over there, but from a lot of our perspectives, there's very little to show for it (beyond bug fixes and, yknow, the spam bot nonsense). And that includes communication.
Good to hear, hope to actually see the results of this soon.
to add to that earlier list btw of things that "haven't been addressed" because i mentioned this already and it hasn't been touched on. but yknow, whatever, i'll give y'all the benefit of the doubt for not wanting to read one of my classic novella posts :V
this might be sorta random, but this was from one of @michaelson's posts in the "Apologies for the Spam" thread that is now locked.
sooo i guess this algorithm includes comics that have been dead for years? mind you that's in the Genre-specific trending tabs that show up on the sidebars of solo comics, but I don't see how they should be built any differently if it's still "trending". why tf are starting out comics having to compete with Rock & Riot, Treehouse, and Fail By Error, among others? They're all great comics mind you, but I don't see why they're getting top spots in the trending and popular pages when they haven't been active, some for upwards of years (Treehouse hasn't updated in half a decade).
The "more like this series" shows the same 4 comics every time, 3 of which look to be from the same artist, (the other has one character licking the other's ear! Eww).
Would it not make more sense/be fairer to promote other series by the same creator as the one you're looking at and/or other series with a similar readership number?
Series with the same readership number sounds good. And as far as I’ve seen once you visit a comic you do get a “more by this author” section. So far the suggested comics you see are only within that category. If you go to a different category you get different four ones, so the next cool step would be what you mentioned, by exposure number. I’m not sure how difficult it would be to implement but it would increase and spread exposure towards (and within a) a clear target/range.
However
All covers should have a fair chance, regardless of personal discomfort.
Are you referring to this view (found on https://tapas.io/dashboard/index4) :
Eyo, gang let's uh-
Be just a little nicer now? Like I'm reading some of these current responses and while these are valid responses we don't have to be assholes, guys. It's been over a month since this change and like, yeah there are still a lot of issues n' bugs but hot damn the team is doing their best, I'd think. Like we should be grateful they're even taking the time to respond and fix things.
Can you give an example of this 'asshole' behavior? Cuz I haven't seen any?
'Asshole' behavior is being mean/rude without feedback, telling someone they're wrong/bad without any reason why.
And while that was going down at the start of this layout change I haven't seen any of that lately. No one is telling tapas to hurry up either, especially not in current times.
All I'm seeing is people laying down questions and feedback so tapas can look at it and hopefully make tapas a better place.
Are they any news on the confort for readers? like infinit scorling? Or a roll back to the previous design that was way better on the reader side of things?
Or is it as always creators first, readers maybe one day if you have time?
I don't don't want to be arsh on you guys but things need to be said. On a computer Tapas had become a chore to use and read.
After weeks of usage there is what I feel.
I really miss the left side bar to know where I am in a serie, now Tapas feels empty.
That poping up poping out menu is a real real annoyance to say things in a polite way. I've closed some series too many times getting to the bottom of the page as I'm used to infinite scroll and completly forget of that menu thinking I'm at the last page.
I really miss having the first 3 series of my red list at the bottom of the page and not in a hidden menu somewhere. It made things clear about where I was in my reading.
Same for the suggestion being on the left I NEVER look at them. Once at the bottom of the page I close the page because there is nothing left there.
As the creator I agree the suggestion are ALWAYS the 5 same series. When I glance at the suggestion its always the same 5, its annoying I'd like to discover some real new things; And what is worse is finding series I already follow in there. Why are you still showing them to me?
On the same not I would love to have a way to ban some suggestion of my feed because I've already read them and finished them for finished stories or because its something I don't like and don't want to read. In the suggestions I want to see something fresh and new, not the same 5 series that has been there for 5 or 10 years and that you can fin on every meme website around the world.
And if there is a thing I really really tired to see are all these mangas style things you push down our throat. I love that style but there is other style I'd like to see please. Seriously 90% of my front page is manga style comics, and it wasn't always like that.
An other little thing is the Mature content, there only is to pay comics in there, I'd like to see free adult comics too.
And last is can i hae please a way to customize my front page with comic genre that I like and want to read? Its not that I'm against BL and romance comics I love them but some weeks they made the majority of the suggestion. I'd liek to see other things I like please.
I'm sorry but I don't recognise the the tapas I registered to. And more and more I feel like there is only attention given to creators in the detriment of the readers, you know the ACTUAL user of Tapas? The people who you should aim first so they come back and read comics here because they feel at home? You know the people who give you revenues through adds and inks, the same money you can give back to creators.
