Regarding the development direction of pinebk, we seek opinions from all members

admin

Our initial plan is to develop pinebk into a legitimate data download site that doesn't infringe on copyright. For example, we could download recipes, sheet music, and other materials. We haven't figured out a specific direction for development yet, so I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Thank you very much.

Theoretically, you can express any opinion on this site, but please abide by the fair use rules. For example, malicious robot postings, advocacy of war, etc. will still be restricted or even banned.

Well, we already have all kind of crafts on pindiy and books/comics on ebooksite, you might consider something with music or films.
It must be something we don't already have on both other sites.

3d printing files (stl, 3mf). That would be quite popular and would actually bring men to the site. Even free files are going to be very popular at some point.

Movies/videos are going to be a pain only because of the size. Often up to and more than a gig even with compression.
Music is much easier and smaller files and actually easy to rip or convert.


Graphics, specifically svg. Svg are used most commonly for Cricut and Sillouette craft cutting machines and laser cutters. Psd and ai files are higher end graphics for Adobe products, they can be larger files of course depending on dpi but might be doable. Png might also be suitable but youd have to zip so not direct download.
Currently none are really on Pindiy.  It is something you could add there though, if not here. There are tons of crafters who own and use one or more of the machines and use them regularly.

Maybe games and software. Again, size might be an issue on some but not all.

FYI, in the USA  recipes can not have a copyright, only the instructions themselves. See link below. So one can actually give an ingredient list without copyright issues.

I am not sure what I want on this site - I am enjoying the community aspect of it very much

Recipes and sheet music would be great. Also maybe digital art files like presets and LUTs for editing programs?

Estaría interesante poder crear un tema donde las personas que dibujamos (incluida yo) publicásemos nuestros dibujos tradicionales y digital, ya sea para artistas como para principiantes e incluso para dibujantes que lo hacen como hobby.

I had another thought, fonts. Individuals who craft, digital art, tattoos and or do cookie decorating are always looking for fonts. There are numerous categories for art and crafts that aren't in pindiy that might be worth looking into for here, there, or even another bbs.
