Cara: Art & Social

i really like it so far (only downloaded it recently) but the only thing that reaaaaally bugs me is that there is no option for a light mode / white mode and everything is black. Also the design is very much inspired from twitter and instagram which is comfortable to use. It also has a discover page which is to me a big bonus, because you can just find interesting art easier!

Thankful for the development team’s hard work and the commitment to artists, just wish it had a iPad-friendly version as the works would look amazing on the new OLED iPads and iPad Pros!

Feel so much more comfortable uploading art on here than instagram but would LOVE it if there is a “not interested in this” or “hide this” or “don’t recommend this” button for posts that randomly show up on my timeline instead of forcing me to go onto some poor random artist’s profile and mute them :(

It’s so far and so good the I actually join in and it’s almost like a half Twitter and Instagram together. It’s seems great 😊 except the log out app part need to be fixed ? But everything is good.

So far as an artist I’ve enjoyed this platform, the only critiques i have i know are likely to be fixed soon anyways. Im excited to see where this goes!

At a time when generative AI content is drowning out human creators on every platform, is nice to have an platform dedicated to human artists. In its present state, genAI images would not exist if not trained on the theft of intellectual property from human artists and photographers. Cara does not allow artificial imagery on its platform and provides tools to help human artists protect their work. Amazing! While the site has had some growing pains due to the mass influx of artists, it’s being very actively developed and updated. Many of us are tired of platforms that manipulate algorithms and train generative AI on our work without consent. Cara has been a breath of fresh air for the art community and it will only continue to improve. I’m happy to have found a home here.

The app is somewhat unintuitive, but that shouldn’t stop people from using it. I think it’s a great place to find inspiration & connect with other artists.

It’s like 1/3 of my screen size :( very hard to type and see

I know it’s in its beta phase, but I truly would like to have some sort of “story” or way to post something that others can publicly see, that won’t stay on my page just like instagrams. I’m absolutely in love with everything so far but i feel like it helps with promoting what you have going on to others 💕👍 other than this I’m exceptionally astounded with the app and will be using it to keep all my art! I’m no longer scared of ai using my art without my permission 😁😁😁

Was looking for another place to post my procreate art and found Cara! Unfortunately I joined during the max exodus from Instagram so things have been slowish and buggy but cant blame the app and they’re very transparent. The app is very easy to use and set up but would be better with some a couple of things. 1. Fix the homepage 2. Fix the portfolio reordering 3. Include ways to change views when seeing posts (continuous scroll). Otherwise I am having a great time meeting new artists and sharing my drawings. My partner uses it for Photography too which is also a great addition!
