What happened to app

Just thought about it reading another post. What happened to the inventables app @Zach_Kaplan?

I know a lot of people didn’t use it. Was the idea trashed? I remember being on the beta group

There was a mobile app from inventables?

Are you talking about writing apps / plugins for Easel?

SeanNaylor · January 18, 2018, 1:38am

No it was a beta app where people shared projects and showed how to go through the process and a place to ask for tips.

It was a mix between this and Instagram.
It was very small. Some people used it but never took off. Wonder if they were gonna relaunch it

I vaguely remember something being mentioned on here about this too

Would you be referring to the Projects page? By your description this is what I find.

I used it once and never got a reply. I look every once in a while but little activity so I never got to involved.

What was the app called? I see nothing under Inventables.

SeanNaylor · January 18, 2018, 5:34am

Nah it was a very small thing just random people uploading stuff

@X-CNC you could put a gun to my head i still wouldn’t remember. Honestly I was on it for like 3 months. Sounds like @KennethConnell would know what it was called?

I looked up the E-mail for the app and it has a personal download link. I an not sure if it was an experimental app or released to the public.

Zach, BRING BACK THE APP OR WE PROTEST!!

KennethConnell · January 19, 2018, 4:05am

Easel Studio is the app name. Just got home and checked my phone.

X-CNC · January 19, 2018, 4:30am

Just looked on the App Store and didn’t see it.

Sad it’s not available, sounds like a nice idea.

Hi Sean,

That app was something we were experimenting with. That experiment came to an end, and we shifted gears a little, but those concepts are things we are still thinking about.

How was your experience using the app? What would you like to get from an app like that?

X-CNC · January 20, 2018, 6:36am

All great ideas. They should put you in charge

X-CNC · January 20, 2018, 5:28pm

There are many aspects to app design. You don’t need to be the one writing code. You would be great in the creative department My recommendations for the app would be very similar to yours Sean. There would be a series of tabs. In settings you would be able to choose - which - tabs would appear on your screen. You could choose from Set-Up, Easel, Tutorials, Projects, My X-Carve, Forum, Showcase, and Store. Showcase would be a place where people could go to show their newest carves and inspire others. My X-Carve would be a place where you could bookmark your favorite projects, and list all the upgrades to your X-Carve for others to see. Also in settings would be a Contact Us button for direct communications with Inventables. The point is there are many options that could be utilized in a app, so hopefully Inventables won’t give up on a app.

I would love to see feed full of x carved projects.
I think in the last time the projects category of this forum is just used for finding help solving issues and not to demonstrate finished projects.
When I find one of these though I always feel so inspired and want to start carving on mine.
