Improve Discover Feature
Since VSCO doesn't force random new content on the user (THANK YOU FOR NOT DOING THIS), the Discover feature seems to be the main way to find new creators and content to view. The "Just For You" and "Weekly Selects" sections are great for discovering new content, but these sections are pretty limited (Just For You has only 9 images). There are other sections that are based on recent hashtag campaigns or themes like "Water", but I noticed that most if not all of the theme-based selections are never updating - the photos in these selections have been the same for years, and some of those users haven't been active for years. It would be great to revamp this whole feature to keep it fresh and find new ways to find and connect with creators and their content (leapfrogging over anything Instagram, etc. is doing). Maybe some sections based on location to connect with creators in your area or people who have snapped photos of the same landmark or city. Or ways to connect people doing similar types of photography, like street, portraits, travel, etc. VSCO talks a lot about creating community and has a lot of potential to do so, but I always feel like I have such an extremely narrow, disconnected view of the VSCO community when I try to use the app to expand my community.
