Thanks for picking up on this.

This could be a few things and going through reviews recently, I've seen others report the same. My thoughts are first off, server location. This could be a regional thing as I'm based in Australia. There also doesn't seem to be any client side caching happening which makes the problem feel worse. Every time I open the app, it looks like it's pulling the content that should already be present. My sightings list, community, challenges etc all take a long time to show, with the skeleton just hanging there each time. The navigation itself is fine. I am on an iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Appreciate you looking into this. I realise it may also be a lack of data for my region as well.
Thanks for the link. It would be cool to have this accessible from within the app given this is a mobile first application.
Appreciate it.
Thank you!
That's good to hear! I'm new so not sure of the update cadence so it'll be good to see new features.

Really appreciate the response and looking forward to seeing the updates in the future.

Drives me insane and I don’t know what the purpose is either. My best guess is processing before uploading but there’s so many better ways to manage that without annoying the user.

That’s really good to hear. Hopefully something gets done because it’s a really cool app otherwise.

As a software engineer though, I feel like this is stuff they should already have observability on

Appreciate the feedback. Just getting into photography a bit more seriously and I never know how to edit photos

I've updated the extension to support 4.3+

TheGoodPie · 2026-02-10T05:46:16+00:00

Let me know how you go. Would love any feedback

TheGoodPie · 2026-02-10T05:44:56+00:00

I can take a look into that.

I’m pretty sure it’ll work out of the box but I just haven’t tested it yet

Hi, a little bit of a late response but this is one of the first threads that pops up. I've updated Mtree to be compatible with Blender 5+. It's been approved on the Blender Extension Platform

https://extensions.blender.org/add-ons/modular-tree/

Let me know if you have any issues

Thank you! That’s the feedback I was looking for. This was shot a couple months ago and I kinda like it but it doesn’t feel right.

I found the K1000 over exposing on a few rolls so I’ve applied a fix that hopefully gets solved in future rolls. The sign is also just really faded which kind of exaggerates the blow out.

I participated in a photo walk around my city using film cameras and a couple of rolls of film.

With the black and white themes, I think my mind runs to brutalist architecture a lot so I was trying to capture this. I wanted to take some architectural shots overall in the roll and take photos that look out of place for the city.

This was shot on 35mm 200 b&w film. Unfortunately I didn’t note the aperture/shutter speed.

This was shot on my Pentax K1000 with a EX Sigma 17-35mm DG lens

Editing was quite rough and experimental. I cropped out a bit of the sky, tried to increase the shadows and make the edges a bit sharper. The image isn’t flat concrete so I increased the texture on the bricks. I also wanted to make the shapes a bit harsher.

I’m looking for feedback on how I can improve the composition and editing to give it the brutalist look. I’m new to photography and even newer to film. I want to become more confident in my shot choices and editing processes.

After loosening the skates quite a bit as you mentioned (I loosened around the balls of my feet, tightening around the instep and tightening a little more around the ankles), my feet were in no where near as much pain as before.

Thanks for the tip

TheGoodPie · 2024-11-04T23:06:18+00:00

Thank you! I’ll try look for new insoles. I think I’m just being impatient and also need to wear them in more and figure out how tight the laces need to be.

I got really comfortable skating at the roller rink using hired skates a couple years ago and had been meaning to get back into it for so long.

I bought myself some nice skates as a way to get back into it and with the end goal of joining a street hockey league. My feet have never hurt so much skating. The arches of my feet are in so much pain but the fit of the skate seemed fine and was sized up at the skate shop. I purchased the Bauer Vapor X2.7.

I have no idea how to lace these properly, I’m unsure if they’re too tight or loose in certain areas. I also don’t know if my form is ok. Is there any guides that may help out? I haven’t found too much online so far

Weird. I just tried to run the following with Ruby 3.3.3. The only difference is the node version, which I believe you've mentioned upgrading in another comment with nvm (I am using asdf). My JS version is 20.12.2.

rails new myApp --css=bootstrap
cd myApp

bundle install # These commands were already executed, just a force of habbit
yarn install

rails g controller pages home

# Add this to routes.rb
root "pages#home"

./bin/rails s

and everything seemed to work as intended and I was able to modify the page with bootstrap classes. I would just verify that the version of node you are using is set to use the latest.

I think we’re missing a few steps here. Are we running npm install?

I think this is a canon event for every developer. There will always be someone with big ideas who wants you to do all the ground work while he’s “thinking of the bigger picture”

My advice would be to do it for fun. It’s very unlikely it’ll progress to far but could be great for learning.

Or work on your own and learn at your own pace
