Hi all. Could this be true? Could Peers24 be our very own social media network? Click or copy https://pages.peers24.club/pub/yandisa.mtyide/ to review this website. You can also find published BizCommunity article interview here -> https://www.bizcommunity.com/Article/196/842/200581.html Regards,
Interesting concept, good luck with your endeavour! In that interview in BizCommunity article, I like that you mention getting 100 sign ups almost one year after going live; it is patience! If I launched such a site and didn't get 100 registered users within one month, I'd probably give it up... As for the site, it is really nice to read and browse, structure is logical, and colours are pleasant. I have few remarks: I have preloader constantly spinning in the header, see below screenshot; it tries to load something, but it takes time, or is not possible; you should check, this preloader makes the impression that site has not fully loaded. In between some posts, not all, just some of them, there is an empty "spaceholder", see encircled in red in below screenshot. It looks like there should be a post, but it's missing. Is it a bug, or intentional divider? If divider, you should change its layout, although I don't see its purpose here, there are already nicely rounded bottom and top borders of previous and next post. Finally, I would prefer to have menu in left sidebar sticky. When you scroll down, you have that empty grey space in the left portion of the screen; so why not making the menu always accessible in that part of the screen, since it occupies the space anyway; I think it's more useful than having to scroll back to the top each time you want to access the menu.
@Saputnik Spinner? That's Pace (Bootstrap) 4 and stops eventually after completely loading the page. What at times causes the spinner not to stop, you might have some ad blocker set on your browser and also the reason for the spacing in-between posts - those are Google Adsense ads They might be blocked, need to find a way to detect ad blocker especially Firefox - quite annoying. If you have a handy script that would be so nice to have. Edit: I am thinking of entirely removing Pace, dammit lol... For the menus, yes great idea been meaning to research and work on the menu instead of scrolling. Bootstrap 4 scroll-able top menu, anyone? Please forward a link to wrap this up that would be nice. Also note that this is only a user public page, which is me in this case, but once signed up and signed in, you will see the full might of the site - amazing and mind-blowing Thank you so much for the feedback and to be honest I didn't expect 1400+ signups during the period of July (2019 launch) - May (2020), amazing really. The reason why most visit/sign up to the website if you notice on the left menu are the following: (i) TV Shows & Movies, (ii) Jobs, and lastly (iii) Music Videos. You can also follow my story on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/yandisa-mtyide-725b57197 I will work on the suggestions and let you know. Thank you so much.
The design is very elegant and colors used are also cool. The right side of the page seems a little empty. Make the posts wide or add some blocks towards right side of the page.
@wildogre thanks a million for the feedback, I will think of a way to make use of that space (fill it with content) - need to decide on what is relevant though. @Saputnik made those changes and got the right version of Pace.js working. As for the ad blocker detection on these public pages still remains a screamer, will work on it though. I just need to focus on the menu (scroll-able) and filling the void space on the right as suggested by @wildogre Please note that these are user public pages and limited in functionality. They were mainly requested by our users guess it's also working well SEO wise. Good for visibility I guess Full list of our URL list submission - https://www.peers24.club/data/rss/urllist.txt
