Day 28 of Building Crowdwide — Personalization, Bug Fixes & A Brand Ambassador!

I was building a social media platform with a special algorithm that gives new voices or communities a better chance of being discovered.

And... it's Crowdwide!

Today is Day 28 of giving updates on its v1, and v2 is going to release on 1 November 2026. Not too far...

So far...

I made a few more changes and made a few bugs...

While setting things up for larger screens, I broke them for smaller screens!!

I removed some unnecessary padding from the sidebar but forgot to check it on my phone.

And YES!! That's where I made a bug... bug maker developer respect ++ MISSION RESPECT PASSES+++

Then effessDev reported it, and I fixed it!

Also, the sidebar looked different in different sections on larger screens. I forgot to maintain consistency between UIs.

So I fixed that too!

More Personalization!

Now I have 20+ users, why not increase personalization?

• Posts with 40–50 views but no reactions will get a lower ranking (not too low... just less preferred).
• Out of every 4–5 posts, users will get one post related to something they might be interested in, to check their interest in other things as well.

There is a thing in social media platforms that checks users' interest shifts.

So yeah, I added that...

Actually, I found that approach smart... smarter... smartest... lol.

What's Next?

I haven't made any other very special changes...

Do you think Crowdwide's UI and backend are okay for now? Can I stop giving it daily updates?

Also...

I announced that I want to make someone a Brand Ambassador of Crowdwide.

But no one talked about it... lol. So, I still haven't got anyone...

Anyone interested?
