New here, is publishing worth it?

Hey! Im still getting into ribblr and im absolutely loving the community here! I made/published around 10 pattern containing tens of pages and ≈100 pics, Here the pattern are mostly rows/written only (?) With no visuals which honestly feels like it would have less clarity to the reader. Should i re-publish here ?

You can offer PDF versions here! I have several patterns that link to a PDF that contain a lot of images.

You can also attach images to notes within a pattern to include them inline with the rows on Ribbuild. :smiling_face:

Let me open up a pattern I’m working on in Ribbuild and take a look! I haven’t linked a PDF myself but I might be able to figure it out. One sec!

Okay!! So you can add media like photos and links to both the actual rows/rounds and notes. (I believe headers and sub-sections too, but I didn’t double check).

This can be found here:

To add a link to a PDF, just click “File”! (Photo/Video is hopefully self explanatory LOL)

To add multiple photos to a single place in the pattern, I would utilize the “info/notes” line. That can be found here:

Each line in the pattern can only have one piece of media attached so if you wanted to put it all in Ribbuild, you’d have to add an info/note line for each one. Not the greatest, but not the worst either.

Hope this all made sense!

I add a lot of photos to my patterns, especially the paid ones. I find it important for visual learners to have the photos and for everyone to be able to check their work to make sure they are doing it correctly.

Sadly I have come across many paid patterns on Ribblr that don’t even have assembly photos and just hope you’ll figure it out based one the 1 angle they provided with the finished photo :unamused_face:

I also want to add that you cannot just attach a pdf. You are required to have the entire pattern in the Ribblr format. The linked pdf is in addition to the Ribblr epattern. Currently you can copy and paste the words into a line in Ribbuild and it will do it’s best to separate the lines and add row/round numbers. You will have to go through and clean it up and add photos but it helps speed up the process. The alternative is copy/paste line by line.

Mann i get the creative vision of the platform but i wish we could just post our pdf patterns :frowning: especially since i deleted steps pics of old patterns already i guess this will never be an option to me

Way back when I first started, I had the same issue. I ended up using the snipping tool on my computer to get the old photos from the pdf.

You could also just have the words and whatever photos you still have and then make a note that extra pattern photos are in the pdf. As long as someone can cross of each round/row/step you are fine.

Guys ig i found a way, ill just list my projects as makes then link them to my actual pdfs yeyy
