some suggestions on the home screen/landing page and others

Raghu Hegde 12 years ago updated by Cheehan Tee 12 years ago 1
1. Can I post a story but not make it visible to the everyone, but only to my FB friends? I want to do this because I am logged in with my FB account and I do not want just anyone to find me, especially if i am a FB user who has chosen to opt out from by profile being visible to everyone in the internet.(or can you read this setting in FB and make the post appear accordingly?)
2. I can see that as more posts start coming in, the home screen map will starts becoming crowded. I feel that this might not give the user a good experience. you might want to think how you want to display the posts on the home screen. May be choose from newer stories?
3. I was looking at the map and I saw that there are orange pins on the map and the photo collage beside it. But for some stories (mine included) I couldnt find the orange pin. May be the photos were overlapping the pin? I like the orange pin, and I wanted it to be visible on my story too :P May be zooming in/out of the map would make it visible, haven't tried that.

1. Privacy setting is already a requested feature: http://support.roam7.com/topic/116507-privacy-setting-for-stories/
Please vote for it and let us know of specific requirements if any. 
2. Yes, we do have a way of selecting and prioritizing stories based on your relationship with the story owner and the stories' popularity so that the map doesn't become too cluttered. In effect, everyone will see a personalized selection.
3. Yes, being overlapped could be a reason. If you zoom in enough and the points separate you should be able to see your stories. At a higher level, they  may be hidden due to #2 above.

Hi Raghu, for #2 we are choosing the 'best' stories to display on the world map, using algorithms to stop it getting too crowded. As you zoom in on an area of the map, we will load and display stories for that area. 

Try zooming in on Taiwan and Japan.


We're still fine tuning this though, it gets a bit crowded when you zoom out again.
