DeviantArt problems · 5:16pm Apr 23rd, 2020
So, I'm not sure how many of you guys have a DeviantArt or whatnot, but DeviantArt is going to go into permanent Dark Mode, and it's made a lot of users very angry because this new version isn't user friendly, and even my brother and his girlfriend are thinking about jumping ship and moving their art to Tumblr instead, and I wanted your thoughts on if I should follow suit.
I probably won't deactivate, but it mostly hinges on my enjoyment of Eclipse. I've tried it out myself on different occasions, and I felt that it wasn't awful. But it still had some things that I disliked. I was pretty sad that when I edit Favorites, the pages are gone in favor of scrolling. Scrolling is kinda laggy when it's loading new artworks, and you can guess the look on my face when I saw that there were no pages.
Aside from that, I felt that it was.. kinda boring. It wasn't the worst design, but it wasn't the best design either. Not awful, but I still prefer the Legacy site/Old version. The old DeviantArt is just in general a much more well designed site, and it didn't even use WiX! If the DA Team had just waited 2 more years of patching and tweaking, I think it would've been a little better than it is now.
