Greetings!Pocky here, I’m the founder and lead developer at Artfol and I’d like to say a few things regarding Artfol 2 and the current state of the platform.
Firstly, I’d like to give some background about Artfol. Contrary to what people may think, we’re not big team, nor have any external funding. Since the launch of Artfol 5 years ago, we've been a team of 2 part time devs working on the platform.
I know this is not the perception we may have given off in the past, and I understand that this is no excuse for the issues that I know some users have encountered. This is why we’ve been working on Artfol 2 for the better part of the year. Our goal is to be able to address many of the current feedback and issues of Artfol with the release of a new version, built from the ground up with better performance, optimisation and user experience.
We've always been thankful to our community and we really appreciate all your support, using and testing the app throughout the years. We hope we can provide a better service through Artfol 2. As it will be a complete platform overhaul, Artfol 2 is currently still a work in progress and we'll need time to extensively test and finalize it. We're also hoping to get more of the community involved as this date approaches. Thank you all for your patience.

thank you artfol devs we appreciate your efforts and work on this app Artfol is the first online place to post my art where I have felt like I have a place in
•
Excited to see what you will bring with Artfol2 
We all appreciate your hard work and efforts :) Artfol is such a lovely community and app to use, so thank you both for working on it and creating it ^^ And with such a small team, too!
•
Even if there’s two developers, we all appreciate the hard work you guys are putting into this community! 
It’s been really refreshing having to start over and build from the ground up; every follower gained feels rewarding. Unlike with other social medias where we’d have to stress about followers, reaches, and algorithms.
However, I do have a singular question! About Artfol 2, will we still be able to keep our current accounts to sign in and not make a completely new one with the new Artfol? I hope it makes sense ^^’

•Cool. I hear people go "wish I could use artfol but it does not work on my device" a lot. Im happy to hear the progress rolling!

Thank you for this most needed update message about the next version!
Is there a way to volunteer to help you out? Whether in communication, moderation, stuff like that? (I think a lot of people would like to, even if it's minimal effort)

Thank you for your efforts! I hope that the management of this platform doesn't stress you too much. Please consider hiring helpers to reinforce the team if you risk a burnout, or directly to avoid the risk of a burnout. I can't speak for everybody, but personally I would not mind a bit more of advertisement if it's not invasive and annoying, and if it might help support you and the platform.

2 people??? Definitely not what I thought 
Ik yall aren’t a huge company but I thought it was more than that, with managing a whole app/website. You guys are doing great

Even if it was 2 people. You guys proved you could mold and make something pretty large with your skills alone. Really glad you want to improve this site!
•
I'm so excited to see the new version! 
Thanks for your hard work, this is definitely one of the best apps I've been into, despite the bugs, it's still very much worth it. I always recommend it.

Dam, 5 years? has it really been that long. Anyways, keep it up, I really do enjoy being on Artfol 
•
Thank you for the response. I personally can wait. But I also have no issues like lag like the others. I have to say though that you will probably lose a lot of users to Cara. But so many are staying because of the community and how you respond to reports and listen. So please don't feel discouraged. :D

Wow that's incredible! Only a team of 2 that's crazy! Just a question, is this going to be an entirely new app or just a large update. I feel that It'd be unfair having to transfer all our old artwork into another app, plus all the followers people have built up. I've been on this platform for roughly 2 years and it's been a struggle earning the amount of followers I have. And I don't think it would be great having to start at square one. This is just my personal opinion!

•MAn artfol is 5 years old??????? I feel like I aged! I'm still with artfol until the end! :D <3 Wish you both devs the best of luck in this hardship!
•
•Just 2??? I must admit I had no idea about this either. You guys are absolutely amazing, thank you for all the hard work you've put into making this app! 
Out of curiousity, do you ever plan to hire some more people?
And is Artfol 2 going to be an entirely new app or just an Artfol update? To be honest, with all the things we've posted in here over the years I think it'd be tough to move everything somewhere else...
