Yeees! We connect to each other through the stories we tell and how we express them!

People want stories. We are drawn to the story in art. We pause and spend time with a painting until we find the joy in each brushstroke. In that moment we see the artist and storyteller like a wizard behind the curtain. That is absent in gen ai. Go be that storyteller. Go be human and create.

Worldbuilding features coming together All worlds are public and anyone can contribute to them. However, those who are interested in "managing" a world will be able to mark things as canon or not so that the world follows a general theme and direction

I'm going to be opening up the collection/worldbuilding features very soon! However, before I do I want to find some groups of friends/communities who want to give it a try If you have a worldbuilding group and are interested please reach out! I'll be reaching out to people in the meantime

Still one of my favourite things about Bard's collabs. Your work can forever resurface to the front page!

I've been so busy! I am alive though, staying consistent with my 2 Bard videos a week. Currently working on/thinking about - Building out the collections features - Reaching out to worldbuilding discords to see if they want to try it as a group - Paying some more creators to talk about Bard

I've thought about making Bard a private artist community, maybe invite only. What do you think about that? With so many bots and AI art going around I think Bard would be a much closer and more enjoyable community if it was limited to a few thousand members

I added an upload button to the profile screen so you can upload your artwork from there rather than just from the main screen

Go make the art you’ve always wanted to make. Write the stories you’ve been dreaming of. Sing your heart out. Pick up an instrument & play. Do the things you’ve been holding back on because you’re worried about what others might think. Just do it. Do it now. Life is short. Life is precious. Please.

Here is a look at what collections might look like! I really like the idea of the collections being open to contribution but owners of the collections/worlds to be able to mark things as canon so that there is a "direction" and some guidelines for the world

I've thought about creating already existing worlds on Bard for people to write stories/fan fiction/fan art for What do you think? or should the worlds be limited to original creations? There are a lot of fan sites out there

With the rise of AI accounts and posts maybe we will see a lot more smaller communities popping up

Collaboration is such a key piece of Bard so I've added an email to let you know when someone collaborates with you! Not live yet, but soon

About 20 people have signed up for Bard again, many of them die-hard users of the past. In the past, Bard never made it past a small group of core users, and for it to succeed, that group will have to grow. This week I'll be working on some plans to make that happen!
