Dynamic feed that changes between visits#131

The photo feed seems to be static and chronological. Every time I launch the app I see the same exact photos that were uploaded most recently, in the same order. Please build a semi-randomized feed that refreshes and shows new photos that I haven’t seen before. This will encourage more repeat visits, and more screen time spent on the app for the users.

Please, leave it as it is… we don’t need another algo-based timeline. Thanks.

I wasn’t suggesting a selection or prioritization algorithm. Just a randomizer to create different views of the main stream.

I don’t mean this to sound as flippant as I think it might, but if you’re not seeing enough new things when you open Glass, maybe this is a great opportunity to follow some more photographers.

But it’s been stated pretty clearly that the goal of the app isn’t high engagement and keeping people in the app for longer or opening it more often.

Doesn’t even need to be random… just show the last uploaded photos by everyone and as the system grows we will find more people

Right now, I am expected to follow people so that i see photos in whatever tab 1 is called. Maybe tab 2 just needs to be a stream of recent uploads regardless of user?!? Tab 1 could be same concept but only for people I follow. Then tab 3 is just me

No algorithms, please! The chronological feed is one of the most important draws of this app. The feed should populate more once more of your friends join the network or you find more people to follow.

Simply, no!

Glass will never not have a chronological feed.

“Glass will never not have a chronological feed” - I don’t think anyone is asking to get rid of the (reverse) chronological feed. But it would be good to find a way to discover more good images and photographers. I’ve tried all the ways in the app…

Perhaps one alternative could be its own separate “Random” view that refreshes with photos you’ve not click on to look at? But feels rather useless to me, anyway - if photo dicsovery is what is wanted, then it would make sense to focus on other features that have that goal instead of trying to implement yet another algorithm view.

I do agree more dicsovery features would be nice.
