Someone made a pretty imo unfairly negative post about Blorp:

I just wanted to take a moment to than you all for your amazing support. I feel very lucky that I’ve made it over a year with very little negativity from my users. Everyone is overwhelmingly polite and patient.

If you have the time, I would love some comments on that post from real users. Even if the comment is politely critical of my app.

There are still many people who haven’t heard of “Blorp” and I would hate for them to get a bad first impression.

I should probably not engage with the haters. Clearly I need a marketing person lol. Maybe I’ll delete this.

Edit: my original reason for making this post was kinda dumb, but I really appreciate all the support in the comments so I don’t delete it

    I agree with you that long pressing does make sense. I think I actually had it working at some point, but I removed it for some reason. I wanna say it was because it was unintentionally triggering the share menu while you were scrolling the feed.

    Anyway, it is a good idea. I’ll see if I can add it without causing any other issues. It was truly just the tone of the post I was frustrated with, not the actual feedback given.

    I appreciate your feedback here!

      I agree the tone was harsh in that post, which is why I chose to reply here, and not there. Some of the replies are pretty harsh too.

      As I said I stopped using Blorp because I was trying to change it into something that already existed.

      I like the share menu for downloading photos, but sometimes it fails to download .webp images. My workaround for that is to “share” it to the material files app which can save them. This usually works but sometimes it fails as well. Gives me error messages.

      I forget if I made a GitHub issue, but does that sound familiar?
