SuperFolder FoldingBros
I have a few suggestions to make the website better. I didn’t know where else to put these, so I put them here.
1: The ability to see what you’ve uploaded
– The way our account works is that we design an origami fold, make the instructions, and upload both to the website. Then, the instructions go in our portfolio. Sometimes, we don’t have the chance to upload immediately after we create, though. Because of this, it makes it hard for us to remember which instructions we’ve uploaded and which ones we haven’t. If site users were given the ability to see what we’ve uploaded, or all of our submissions were tied to our own page on the site (like how DeviantArt does it), it would make keeping track so much easier.
2: The ability to (optionally) link to an instructions page
– When we make a new fold, we usually upload the instructions and then a picture of the finished product. We usually upload them on separate pages, because combining both into one image would just look ugly. The ability to have a link to the instructions, maybe below or by clicking on the image, would allow both our art and our instructions to be seen (I’ve seen people requesting instructions even when I’ve put in the description how to find the instructions by searching for them). The webmaster could even review each link to make sure they direct to another page on origamiyoda.com.
3: The ability to upload more than one image or no image
– If suggestion 2 isn’t viable, the ability to upload multiple images at a time would solve the same problem. Also, let’s face it, there are some works of art on this site that are best seen from multiple angles. On the flipside, having the ability to upload no image would make it easier for text-only submissions (like this one) to happen.
That’s all for now! Thanks!
(Also, I couldn’t think of anything to upload for an image, so I decided to upload a silhouette of Sonic the Hedgehog. Credit to TopPNG for the picture!)
