I want to start this off with a HUGE THANK YOU to all of you who have joined so far! I am so beyond grateful for all of you and happy to say that we're over 400 members in just a few short days!
With that said, I can't ever sit still and I've been super busy here! There’s been a LOT happening at HQ over the last few days, and I’m so excited for you all to try everything! 💛
Inspiration for your Valley ✨
We now have an entire Inspo page for your Valley builds, rooms, landscaping, Touch of Magic creations, speed builds, and tours!
I wanted a place where we can share what we’re creating, find new ideas, and give each other a little inspiration. Upload your photos, tell us about your creation, and link any presets you’ve shared on HQ so people can try them too!
You can browse by category, save your favorites, and give creators some love directly from the main feed. The gallery also has different-sized images for that Pinterest-style gallery wall feel, sharper photos, and creator watermarks and credits.
Basically, somewhere for all the screenshots that deserve more than sitting in a folder on your computer 😂
Cannot decide which DreamSnap to submit? SAME.
Introducing DreamSnap Help! 📸
This one was very much inspired by me staring at two pictures and having absolutely no idea which one to choose lol.
Upload your options, explain what you’re torn between, and let the Valley vote! You can give each option a name, and your post will show which weekly challenge it belongs to.
When voting, you can browse the full pictures, select your favorite, and confirm your vote. Creators can check back on their post to see the results!
Voting closes every Wednesday at 8 AM Eastern, with the next weekly voting window opening at 9 AM Eastern.
More of YOU in the feed 💛
New Inspo posts now show up in the main feed, and I’ve adjusted things to showcase more community DreamSnaps alongside guides and presets.
If you update your DreamSnap image, it will also come back into the feed so people can see your latest version!
There’s a rotating community social spotlight on the home page, too. I want more of your creations to get their moment, not just the same few posts over and over.
You can also browse the Following feed to catch up with creators you follow, and check the Activity tab on their profiles to see what they’ve been sharing around HQ.
Give your creator profile a little personality
Creator profiles and the Creators page got a glow-up!
You can now choose a profile banner color, upload your own banner, or use your latest DreamSnaps. Your banner shows on your profile and your creator card, so go make it yours!
The creator directory also has easier searching by name or @handle, follow buttons right on the cards, and indicators for creators who are live.
Go find your Valley people ✨
All your favorites in one place
See something you want to come back to? Save it!
Your saved Inspo, presets, and DreamSnaps now have a home together under Favorites in your account menu.
A little collection of builds to try, pictures you love, and ideas for when you finally decide to redecorate that area you’ve been avoiding. You know the one 😂
More ways to chat and encourage each other
DreamSnap comments have had some love too! You can now like comments and reply directly to other people’s replies, making it easier to keep the conversation going.
Whether you’re sharing a tip or just telling someone their picture is gorgeous, those little interactions make this place feel like a community.
The little things that make a big difference
There have also been LOTS of smaller improvements:
- Sharper images and better image loading across the website.
- Preset galleries with clickable thumbnails and carousel navigation, so you can actually see every uploaded photo!
- Drag-and-drop photo uploads on Inspo.
- Fixes for duplicate preset submissions and social image previews.
- A more convenient Add Content menu.
- Wider page layouts, tidier menus, and improvements for mobile.
- More sparkles. Obviously. ✨
Keeping you in the loop
I’ll be using HQ Updates to share what’s new, what’s been fixed, and what I’m working on next, so you don’t have to guess what changed when you log in!
Please keep telling me what you love, what feels confusing, and what you’d like to see. So many of these changes have come from your feedback, and it genuinely helps me make HQ better.
Thank you again for being here, sharing your creations, and helping me build this little corner of the Valley. Seeing you all actually use it has been so exciting, and I cannot wait to see what you share next! 💛
