Make an App? Then Promote the DXPNET App?

Why Creating a DXP App Can Boost Its Popularity

Developing a dedicated app for DXP can increase user engagement, reach a broader audience, and compete with platforms like Reddit and Tumblr. An app offers easier access, better notifications, and a more personalized experience, helping to grow the astrology community and keep the platform relevant in the digital age.

There’s too many young astrologers, curious people, and social individuals who don’t know shit about this place … This is literally a hidden tomb of a website..

But people use apps and I think DXP would thrive and get a boost in popularity if there was an application instead of a website. Tumblr is lame and is for little girls… but I see a lot of content on there that should be ON HERE .. What is DXP lacking as a website that couldn’t compete with Reddit, X, tumblr.. Nothing, just people.

It’s time to progress and step into the future.. Facebook has an App ..And a website too.. Why can’t yall? You can.

DXP could be in the league with Tumblr and X easily.. But always promote the fact that this website is still alive cuz the great study of astrology that brings us fellow astrologers together. That’s what makes this website unique and original.

Wat an idea. A not so brilliant idea. We got far too many introverts on this site that like to keep private stuff away from the whole world myself included. If anything the smart idea of making such thread would be to vote on it but I see you as an extrovert that doesn't care nor do you think about anybody's opinions but your own and how all the others will feel about putting dxp on blast.

Carry on

I like the privacy. Even though it’s technically not private. I just wouldn’t want to draw even more attention to this place.

I would like that we keep only the current roster of introvert members, and strongly limit the visibility so that everybody has their own space to post on and can't see the other members postings

I hate that idea. Everything should be transparent. That's why the block function exists. If someone is too sensitive towards someone else, they can just block that person. Problem solved. If not you'd end up with people releasing other people's private information, and the person wouldn't be able to see or report it.

So in other words eliminate the extroverts? All the extrovert members seldom post much if at all. They all hangs out with friends and got too much extroverted things going on to devote their time on here. Of course a lot of these extroverts on here will deny that and say their introvert. I ain't fool, I know who they are. But anyway if I'm right I agree to this. Basically what Jay was saying on his thread really.

Yes, DXP should be just a blank page where you come and post your stuff and nobody to annoy you.

As an introvert that would be the perfect setting for me

I would probably download the app if there was one. And I would love to meet some new people, especially astrologers.

I feel like we could definitely use some novelty around here. There is only like 20 of us posting.

That's annoying. Go buy a fucking journal and write in it. Hide it under your mattress so no one finds it.

This is also funny coming from someone who would only want to come to America to vote for Trump for the lolz.

The problem is this site has become less about astrology and more about BS.

Astroseek had a Nice balance and allowed you to search different users by different signs sucks they took that feature away. I made cool friends on there mostly people with same sun and moon signs. Astrological advice as well as regular advice was solid too.

The cool thing about this site is that it reminds you of the AOL yahoo messenger days.

I'd download it.

This site could benefit by having a birth chart calculator, etc. as well.

See that's the kind of shit we truly need. Like more astro related stuff. Thing is are there really any more good astrologers here, or are we all just bat shit unhinged feral people that like to drink booze and blame everything on each other, the world, and astrology? That's the problem right now. You have people that want it to be a secret gem in the vastness of the internet, and others that want to turn this bitch back into the wild west. I'm for the latter tbh. We need more mentality unstable crazy people that don't take meds. With that more people who have a delusion they can actually help will follow. Thus people who actually take pride in astrology will emerge. Mostly because they actually think they can make a difference. Like a 4 or 5 star chief isn't going to work at McDonald's. You have to make the McDonald's look like 5 star restaurant, even if it's truly a gold painted turd. That's literally the dxpnet we all know and love. Always has been, always will be.

If that's the case I'd be posting a lot of me talking on vocarro talking all kinds of crazy stuff out of the norm just for the fuck of it without feeling nervous or embarrass about it which I'm sure I'll still be down with it.

Imo, part of dxp's appeal is that while its an astrology site, it's also kinda like a small town where everyone knows each other - community. People have gotten married off this site.

I think this is a very brilliant idea!! Even a site like Amazon now has an app!! Build an app for this website !! You won’t have so many bugs!!
