InkBlot is Faster than Ever!
InkBlot is faster now with our new infrastructure.
The new infrastructure is supportive of caching and load times are faster than ever with this new update. We are using a new database engine called Redis, which makes it easy to store data in memory instead of on disk, so we can serve you content more quickly!
In order to help juice up the new infrastructure we need users like you who enjoy InkBlot and want it to succeed, by logging in frequently within the next few days so that we can see how well things are working out for everyone! A few likes or new follows will help build it!
Apps have yet to update but will do so early next week! Please contact support@inkblot.art for any issues or our bug report form
Support InkBlot and help it grow refer friends and family ! We hit 26,000 users!
InkBlot is a community for people who love art and creative works. It's also a platform for creators to share their work with the world and make money off of it.
We've gained 1.5k users within 1 week! This is all thanks to our amazing users like yourself who have shared their love of InkBlot with others by inviting them into this community through referrals (and hopefully they'll invite even more people).
