First off: hello! If you don’t know me from Twitter or elsewhere, I’m Avelyn! 20’s, they/she. I’m one of the many fleeing Twitter, and I deleted my DeviantArt account a while ago after the NFT-related announcements.

I’m not used to sharing my work purely through mobile, but I’ve heard many good things about Inkblot and I’m willing to give it a try.

I’ve been puttering around for a little bit, and I’d like to share my first impressions of the app.

**Pros**
- Lovely UI! Very streamlined and easy to use.
- Lost of post options, from artwork to blog posts (like this) to statuses.
- Very clean feed! Free from algorithms and whatever else.
- I heard this app was anti-AI. Thank you for rejecting that noise.
- Tip jar button!
- Separate tab for commission work!

**Cons**
- some assets feel… unfinished, for want of a better word? Buttons are scrunched together, text not aligned properly in places
- This is the tiniest nitpick ever, but the lack of any spacing between display name and pronouns is driving me mad
- It’s hard to see my cursor in dark mode
- Random crashes

**Overall**
I’m feeling very optimistic! I’d love to get started transferring some of my work here, and I’ll see where this place takes me!
