Hotfix deployed this morning
Hello everyone, I hope you're all well! I've just deployed a patch on Veklar that fixes several bugs. Most of the bugs were minor, but others were more problematic, such as the one that prevented access to the profiles of users with only digits in their username. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you once again for your support and your presence!
I was testing your platform, so here is what i found:
1) UI looks exclusively better.
2) Unable to add GIF's
3) Followed games are not showing up in my followed games folder
4) No language filter, as i am looking at the posts with different languages too, either put a translating feature or filter the posts on the basis of the language of the user.
4) Unable to share the post to outer social media platforms [which will actually help you in getting organic traffic]
5) Unable to delete my account
Hello Yagami and thanks for your feedback.
I just released a new patch fixing the issue with GIFs, the one about followed games folder, and the account deletion.
Regarding translation, as I just answered on Veklar a user wondering the same, while Veklar is under development I have to keep costs to a minimum, as everything is paid for out of my own pocket with the help of donations, which don't represent a regular and stable source of income. When development is complete, and having chosen not to base Veklar's business model on advertising and the sale of user data, I will offer subscriptions for specific cases (pro accounts with dedicated features for example, or premium accounts for users who want a more advanced degree of customisation) to produce a reliable source of income. Then it will be possible to invest money in third-party translation services such as DeepL . Some free services exist but are not European and do not meet Veklar's data protection requirements.
Finally about the external share, it should've worked when you click on the three dots and then on "Share via...". If it didn't, can you tel me your device and browser so I can try to figure it out?
Thank you again for trying out Veklar and giving feedback. I do know that there's still a lot to achieve and I'm working on it!
Hi Anthony,
I completely understand the financial constraints while pulling up a project like this. I am just a fellow IHer to give my feedback on the products.
About the "Share via..." feature, while clicking on 3 dots I am getting only these options:
Bookmark
Copy Link
Pin to Profile

About the browser I am using is Mozilla Firefox.
And for your upcoming plans for subscription as constant source of income, I was thinking as you have already synced games from steam, battlenet, epicgames, you can put up a section where you also post/feature/mention IndieGames, or new upcoming games and those studios are generally very exhaustively involved in marketing [so in games section to feature their games you can directly charge the studios] [a very prominent example in recent times was Black Myth Wukong]
And this type is not against Velkor's ideology of No-Ads. This thing is different.
