Pinterest is one of the most recommended tools when it comes to building collections for most things art related. I’ve taken a few courses on concept art/concept development and Pinterest has been in 90% of it.
It’s used to collect references and build mood boards.
So, while self hosted Pinterest is a nice idea, it does miss the powerful part of Pinterest which is its search and community. When I want to find roman armour or steampunk vibe architecture, I don’t even have to leave Pinterest most of the time because the collections I need to find are right there.
- jrgd 4y agoI totally agree; search and community works on the discovery engine; it’s probably the most under rated feature but the one i use most nowadays and most certainly the feature that onboards most and create repeated-use. I only sometimes pin stuff on boards from the “outside” for very specific things, more like visual bookmarking.
- SamBam 4y agoHonestly, Pinterest could be a great thing. It's only the scummy SEO, sign-up wall, and hiding the origin of images that people dislike.
