User reviews

Can’t login.

Keep getting error ‘Cannot query field "digestFrequency" on type "UserSettings".’ Couldn’t make an account so I did on my pc. Can’t login still because I get the same error. The get support link in the app store is just a basic users guide that appears to have no error reporting or I would have put this there. Thanks.

Work in Progress!

Love the idea and would love to participate! The app is a bit clonky as it is. Lags a lot and when I go to look at the map continuously gives me a list of things I might want to add, even though I just want to look at the map to see what’s already happening. When I go to further edit my profile it just stops responding. Not sure if this is still being worked on?

New Emerging Social Network for Changemakers!

This social network is for people whose primary purpose of interacting is to make a positive difference in the world.

The other social networks do a good enough job as a platform for all kinds of conversation and political commentary, but this one is a little different. Not so much about conversation as it is about planning direct positive action in the world!

For those who want a social network with a little less chaos and a bit more coherent organization, check this one out :)

It does not have the budget of other platforms (eg twitter, meta, Facebook) so there are some bugs and the functionality doesn’t work as well as one might like sometimes.

But also, they are attempting to build this platform on more integral and egalitarian tech called Holochain (not directly related to Blockchain technology. Also, check out that project for more details.

Overall, something new to check out for those who like to devote a good amount of their free time to making the world a better place :)

Fun way to collaborate

Still a bit of work in progress, but I know the team working on it, and there’s more to come. Feels better to use for projects than FB.

Few issues noticed so far (if the devs are following):
- Moving the cursor into previously typed text and trying to type causes SHIFT to be auto-selected, even if you turn it off (it’ll type the first letter lowercase, then revert to upper)

- In another case, it capitalized all the “i”s in my comment (but not the other letters in the word)

Response from developer

Thanks Ivan! Indeed we've been working hard and a whole lot has been improved and added in Hylo App and Web since May 2020! Give it another shot at some point if your curious.
