Community Showcase Feedback

[nova barn]

That was a surprise last stream, thank you so much for doing it

I do have a two questions (first one is more of a request) regarding future showcases, but I'm happy that it happened at all. Thank you so much!

1. Could you add some way to help chatters find the stuff being talked about (if applicable) on the slide itself? Neuro does say where to find some of the things showcased but not all of them, so it might be helpful to include a platform icon with their @ below the previews. (For instance, you might see " @/Copper1ion" under the preview for the Tententengoku animation).

2. Will future showcases be announced in advance, like on the schedule? I'm guessing the first time was a surprise for the cinema moment, but just wanted to make sure if we would know for future showcases

i also want to add on that maybe the showcases could showcase a bit more than just an image and short summary

especially for the animation videos where it's completely unclear on what was done unless you check it out yourself
realistically most people won't click off an active stream to check it out so feels a bit like a waste

[vocal dagger]

When I was looking around for "Cubibibibism" I couldn't find it without needing to asking for help, so even when neuro/evil says the name and the creator. Where to find it can remain a problem. (1.) is something that could massively help with finding the items/videos/etc.

I think it might be because Neuro is using her vision to see the previews and she might have difficulty when it's an animated gif. But maybe there's some way she could look at a single frame on her end while we get to see a gif on our end.

mods could also be prepped to link in chat + pin whatever is being talked about, that would be nice

I'm ngl, it felt sort of... rushed? I like the idea but when vedal literally has to ask for an image and then just uses the meme one it feels unprofessional

[tight vine]

it was rushed, but that's fine it's more of a proof of concept at this stage
we can always improve

[naive steppe]

Pinning links to the projects somewhere, ahead of time or not, would be best. It is a new thing, and so it may need some time for refinement. But it is nice to see it added in.

That was precisely what happened to me as well, sometimes the subtitles are inaccurate and the creators' names get formatted differently

[twin cloud]

yeah a link pinned in chat feels to me like the best solution for 1, though idk how you would go about doing that, especially if neuro moves on quickly from the slide and the link needs to change to the next one

unless you just have someone set up a website with all the links and a link to that gets pinned

[nova barn]

I thought about suggesting it as well, but I decided not to because of that reason. I think it's more "forgiving" (idk if that's the right word) if someone could screenshot what's on the screen to find it later while Neuro has moved on and is talking about something else on the same slide.

[tired cloud]

it's fine to just have their handles and links on the slide, using like fossabot or something to post links in chat is just extra

[naive steppe]

An easier way to find the things talked about would be nice for those not here in the cord. It's a bit easier for us here since we can either search it here, or someone else already knows of it. I think the a pin or bot in the chat would possibly be a good solution.

very happy this happened, but yeah i think a way of giving those showcases views they deserve n stuff would be making sure people's handles n links are on screen potentially. and maybe having neuro/evil's position get shifted like for games and art review since neuro/evil and her text partly block some stuff
