I was just watching a TikTok about how the diary gets bigger not because there’s more ink or because of one journal entry, but because of the accumulation of entries, of moments, or lived experiences, and it made me really ponder on how we’re truly amazing and wonderful minds, each with our own moments of joy, love, happiness, sorrow. I do believe that we’re slowly being corrupted by social media, that it’s too fast, too harmful, and that we’re being pushed into a future that isn’t of our own design; forced to use AI, forced into a world with accelerated global warming by people who refuse to take accountability, and that by consequence, results in us feeling powerless, disconnected, less creative and less hopeful of our future. It brought me back to the visceral feeling that first propelled me to create Lylac in the first place, which is to give us a place, a corner of the internet, to be ourselves, be creative, be unreachable from the overarching arms of the media conglomerates, a place more like a digital creative university than anything else. By that I mean somewhere to learn, to express, to find ideas, to innovate, to mix two and two and find five, and to not feel pressured to perform in the way we have to on panopticonian social media platforms. I do this because I believe this is one of the most important things we need today. Creativity. Authenticity. Audacity.

The homepage: thoughts

The homepage is purposefully unfinished because I’m not quite sure what to do with it yet. Right now it’s to catch up on the latest posts from studios you follow + if you follow any creatives, new public studios they create will be shown to you in your homepage. That’s it. Otherwise, if you have any thoughts as to anything you’d like to see, or ideas that could be interesting to explore for the homepage, just write a comment here. This is a community platform so I really want it to be shaped by you guys. 💙💙 I’m super happy to talk ideas or maybe I create a live on TikTok and we can go through ideas as I sketch them out and talk about directions? Idk that was a random thought I just had.

Do we want likes?

I haven’t added the ability to like posts because I prefer encouraging more ‘meaningful’ interactions like comments, but instead of this being purely a me decision, I’d like to know how we all feel about this. I can always add it if you like!

Would you like to be notified when a new post gets added to a studio you follow?

Feed

Hey! Love the app. Could we see historical posts from the studios we follow in the feed area? Without any new posts the app feels a bit empty, but I think this could be different if we could scroll back through the different posts from each studio.

Studio modes!!!

Studio modes was a great idea! I absolutely love them! Goes so well with the ability to customise studios!

Love the update on the layout of collections; it’s a lot smoother and really like the ability to change the grid styles.

Love the app! works well and feature to pin portfolio to profile is cool.

Pinning posts in folders?

Would pinning a post to the top of your folder be something you’d like? I’m thinking instead of pinning it as part of the grid, the pinned post could take up the width of the screen, above the grid

If you have any feature requests, write them in this collection! We’d love to hear your ideas and suggestions.

New studio prompt feature

We’re testing out a new feature on Lylac that lets you add a prompt to your studio, shown to people before they enter (as I’ve added to this studio). It could be used to ask a question, set the tone, invite feedback, explain what kind of collaboration you’re looking for, or simply give people a more intentional way into your work. This could also turn into some sort of feature used for competitions and submissions. The design of the page is still ongoing, but I’m curious: what do we think? Do we like it?

Hey! While trying to build the studio for one of my projects i encountered the problem a lot of times. on my mac if I try to scroll the app just freezes and i have to manually force quit the app, other than that everything looks great, just needed time to get used to things here and figure some stuff out

Is there anything you’d like to see in Lylac?

Any thoughts about stuff you’d like to see here? Perhaps something to make it more engaging like somewhere to post notes/ask for feedback? I could make something like that a dedicated feature. Was thinking we would just make studios dedicated to topics/ideas organically but I can also create dedicated features for stuff if we want :) comment here or dm me privately on insta or TikTok @pierswoodward ⭐️🐞🥽🫯

how to delete studio?

I think it’s time we were able to zoom in on photos… 🫪 🖼️ 🔍

Do we need the equivalent to a like on posts?

Invite codes!

Invite your friends with your unique invite code so they can skip the application process! Every user now has their own code, so if you want to bring someone into Lylac to collaborate together, or simply to allow them to skip the application process entirely - just tap on three dots icon in the top right of your profile page and tap on “Invite code” to generate your unique code.

The ability to see all the collections I’ve posted into would be cool.

Find the feedback folder under the Collections tab on the Home Page, or under Lylac’s or Piers’ profile page!
