I wanted to like it, guys, really I did, but for fuck’s sake, there’s ZERO feedback when you longpress photos to try and save them? It’s not in the upper menu? Just “save post”? Then while scrolling the whole app freezes and reloads back to page 1 missing your place.

For the last month, I haven’t been able to see my own account’s posts because of some Cloudflare bug despite being able to use the rest of the site and see everyone else’s profile.

It’s really janky, guys. I’m sorry but someone has to say something other than see for yourself.

I saw for myself and it’s pretty mid ngl

    I agree, Blorp sucks. I used it, and really wanted to love it. I thought it had great potential despite the issues I’ve had, and how definitely mid it is ATM. But thanks to you posted about it here, OP, and their subsequent comments, I now know that the developer doesn’t deserve my support or recommendation, so thanks for that.

    I’m now commenting from a different app.

    Bye bye Blorp!

      This is very hurtful. I’ve poured hundreds of hours and hundreds of dollars into Blorp, because I wanted to be part of a movement that pushes technology in the right direction. Imo, big tech is evil and has ruined the internet. I wanted to believe as a person working in tech that I could be part of a group of people that fixes that.

      If you look at my account history, you will see that I’ve spent many many hours replying to every single person who needs help using my app. Typically an app like this would be managed by an entire team of people, but it’s just me, and I’m very burnt out.

      I don’t understand why everyone here is so negative. I’m on your side. I want you to have the best experience on Lemmy/PieFed that you possibly can. I’m not asking for your money or even for you to use my app. All I’m asking is if you have feedback, can you please raise it politely.

        Hey, you keep doing you. I may use a web app saved to my phone, but just for this I downloaded Blorp and I’ll use it to scroll fedinsfw.app

        Fuck this person. You are doing invaluable work to help a community you care about and to me, thats what being a human is about at its core.

          NSFW content viewing is one of the areas that I can definitely improve on. Let me know if there is any way I can make Blorp work better for you! Thank you for using Borp

        Sorry for the negativity you received. You do a great job! Some people are going to be toxic and aggressive. That’s sad to see.
