weve been using pluralspace for about a month now and really like it! obviously its not a perfect replacement for simply plural and its still in beta but heres some things that it has that we like:
the roles you add to profiles automatically become folders you can select in the members page
display name and internal names are separate for better alphabetical organization
fully custom recoloring for the app with a hex-code color wheel so youre not just limited to black, grey and white
the relationship feature creating a map of all of your members with color coded lines connecting all of them
the journal being intuitive (we like it a lot personally because we gave our best friend access to it and xe puts random gifs and posts there sometimes)
gifs work for profile pictures and banners and can be turned off in the accessibility settings
but, not every app is perfect ^^' heres some things we would like added or changed:
loading times are awful for more then 50 members. they claim that theyve tested it on 13k+ member systems but i find that a bit hard to believe when our 78 (not headcount we just didnt port) are taking a good 20 seconds to load sometimes. may be our internet though
the friending system is super clunky and confusing. the wording of "this person was added to your system" feels weird. multiple of my friends were confused on how to actually add someone because the menu for adding someone and the menu for finding your friend code are in 2 completely different spots. even my non-system friends who wanted to add me were confused
make the select feature be able to put members into folders
not me but an issue some of my friends were having was if there are too many pronouns in the pronouns box that the profile wouldnt save. could be fixed by now though
the ability to delete members/the system profile is way too easy and could be impulsively clicked. adding some sort of verification or password system would be useful
give an option for profile pictures to be squares instead of circles (we liked the look better on sp)
give an option to turn off banners entirely
the description for system profiles doesnt account for line breaks unless you open if fully, as well as image embeds dont work
each front type change giving a notification is useless for my friends who have busy fronts or update a lot
make links hyperlink automatically instead of having to []()
overall we actually enjoy this app more then simply plural, coming from someone who used it for a year :) its a lot more user focused then sp was (which felt like a gloried spreadsheet at times) and we hope the devs never feel discouraged
