Incoming Geek-Out: Plural Space Web App
Considering my last post seems to be kind of popular (100 interactions? What the hell?)
Here's a more detailed version of it.
Plural Spaces landing page by default contains: current fronters, custom options for how that front appears, recent switches, a user set headspace mood, and a thought of the day anyone can set.
Each alter has a card visible in the list view with their name, roles, profile picture, banner image, pronouns and an optional display name (for those of you who like having crazy non unicode name fonts, now you can without breaking your search engine!)
Alter pages have custom fields the same way Simply Plural and Octocon did, however with the added bonus of having a rich text editor that allows for local image hosting, tick lists, natively blurred text and a ton of other fun tricks.
Each alter profile has room for groups (like SP), front history, including what kind of front, and who else they were fronting with, and for relationships.. relationships will be important later.
I said relationships would be important. This is where they're important. Plural Space builds a system map based on your listed relationships. Users can set their preferred relationship types and whether those relationships are reciprocated.
> Journal: individual places for alters to write
> Notes: works like any other notes app
> Chat: like simply plural's internal app chat, or like a system only discord server
> Polls: polling space for system queries, allows for multiple votes per alter
> System Insights: system statistical breakdown including common fromters, longest fronts, most switches etc. contains pretty graphs XD
> Activity: a view of every change made to your system by ANYONE. This includes edits to alters, custom fields, front changes, setting changes, new member added etc. It's all stashed there.
This is where plural space really shines, in our opinion. There's a lot you can do in settings but I'll list the most notable ones
Custom language: user set terminology for alters/system/fronts/fronting, includes presets for parts, alters, members, headmates and one they call 'cosy', but also allows for full user editing- if you have a term you prefer for your system, you can add it and have it change app wide.
Friend/other users permissions: full control over what your friends can and can't access, this includes permission to view journal entries, edit alters, edit fronts and view alters. You can lock things down as hard, or as loosely as you'd like.
Front types: the ability to add extra front labels beyond the default front, co-front, and co-con
Custom Fields: full user control over what can and can't be written in custom fields, and what prompts are included in each
Relationship types: user set relationship types for system mapping
Data import/export: self explanatory, make data backups.
There is a mobile app in the works for iOS and Android, however at this point the developer has not announced when it will be available for download as they're not sure (they're having the usual issues with getting the app added to the stores). In the meantime, Plural Space is available on web via pluralspace.app and can be run through your browser as a "native like" app on iOS and Android (with a home screen shortcut).
There is another, different, application in the android store called "Plural Space" that uses the plural rings as a logo, they are not affiliated with or related to the web app, and the app functions very differently to the PluralSpace.app website. I know it's confusing lol, I got caught out too
The solo developer is working his butt off, and I'm crazy grateful for everything he's done in the last month (yes. Month.), please be kind to him, and don't forget apps like these only exist because of kind developers who see a need and decide to fill it. They deserve love and care, not harassment or pressure.
Unfortunately Tumblr ate my first post (it took me an hour, I'm kinda annoyed lol), so this is not as detailed as I originally planned. I might just make this into a series of posts about each section of the app... If you all would like that, let me know.
