At Plasticfolk it is fine to like someone else's figure - and other new features
I would even encourage it — which is why you can now like other people's posts!
There is a heart in three places now: under every post in the activity feed, under other members' published lists, and under every news entry.
In the feed it sits under other people's posts — in Following, in the community, on a person's profile and in your own history. Underneath it you see who liked the post: up to three pictures and a line you can tap to open the whole list.
Names only appear there when that person's privacy level allows it towards you. Everybody else is still counted — a like always counts, even when nobody sees who gave it. Whoever wrote the post sees every name and hears about it in their notifications, once per person.
Published lists carry the same heart on their public page. On your own list page you then see who likes it. And every news entry — this one included — can be liked once you are signed in. Guests see no hearts: the public pages do not learn who is reading them, and that is staying that way.
Also new in version 0.9.0:
- One wishlist instead of many — the star fills it, named wishlists have become ordinary lists, and every list may now hold figures you do not own yet.
- Every list has a page of its own, with its name and every figure on it. Under My figures a list stays a filter and shows only what you own.
- Every list exports as a BrickLink wanted list — what you are still missing. Copying comes first, because BrickLink only takes the XML pasted in; the file is the keepsake.
- Profiles have been reworked: your own profile, another member's and the public page now show the same sections in the same order — as far as that person's privacy level reaches. Above them sit tabs: Overview, Lists, Photos, and Trophies on your own profile.
- Overview holds up to three pinned lists beside four pinned figures, and the number of figures sits next to the followers. On a public profile, signed-out visitors now see the activity too.
- People discovery shows more about each person: figures, followers, whether they follow you — and a button to follow back.
- Activity loads as you scroll. One person's entries from two hours are bundled, an order of more than three figures gets a post of its own, and the cards stay compact.
- Album is a third view on search results, and search now sits in the top bar.
- The scanner starts at the camera and explains itself: "How it works" walks through it in six pictures.
- Eight new trophies count handing figures over and taking them on, and a copy says so while it is on its way to another member.
- Amounts in francs or dollars hold still: every copy converts at its own day's rate, a sale at the rate of the day it sold.
One more thing: testers wanted. The Android app has nearly caught up with the web version in layout and features, and I am preparing the store release. For that I badly need testers. If you are on Android, please put your name on the list. iOS is almost as far along — so sign up for that too and just pick the matching system.
