Starmind Blog

We are pleased to announce that we’ve just launched a substantial update to Starmind’s following system: Since today, a bigger part of our users can start following other users and community questions.

The new feature of following questions and users is still marked as BETA because it has some limitations: If you follow a user, you will be informed about all the questions the user poses but not yet about the solutions he provides. If you follow questions, you will be informed about all new solutions but not yet about comments, upvotes and other interesting changes. We will add these options soon.

Following users is the first step into changing Starmind from a friends-network to a follower-network. We strongly believe that Starmind is a platform for know-how, solutions and interesting questions – and not another social network for virtual friendships.

Start following users who pose interesting questions. Or ask challenging questions to be followed by others. Good luck!

As you probably already noticed, we have a lot more cool stickmen images on the new version of Starmind. This is the work of the very talented graphic designer Stefan Sultanov from Bulgaria.

Stefan is not only good at drawing stickmen: He has a really big portfolio which includes detailed illustrations and 3D visualizations. Feel free to contact him for your project on the Creative Professional Network or LinkedIn.

We are really happy to work with you! Keep on going strong!
