Very simple!

Honestly, very good app for sharing art. Basically just art social media.
There are a few issues but it’s very easy to grow and share your art.

dead app

i tried to like cara for the longest, rlly did, but this app jus ain't for me

evb that migrated from insta left w/o a trace. as much as i'd post n engage, i saw lil to no growth. there's no community left, only a ghost town

i give up wit cara fr, yall got it

Great artist community!

I get way more traction and engagement here than instagram can ever afford! Love the hard NO AI stance!

But it would be nice to hide a post I don’t like so that it no longer keeps showing up on the feed.

I would also really really really love to edit thumbnails. I’ve made mistakes of not editing nice thumbnails before and it just makes my portfolio look so ugly ;_; it would be nice to have more leeway to polish our portfolio in that regard.

Also I can’t seem to access my bookmarks on the app. At least not in an easily accessible way.

AI detectors feed everyone's work into AI.

I love the idea of an art app/website without AI... but this uses an AI detector. AI detectors are known for messing up. They're literally AI. Your app/website is still feeding these artists' work into AI.
