PDF pattern testing through Canva

So I’ve seen other people have a similar question recently and I’ve had the same. I had an idea where I could make a tester call through here, and in the group chat add the pdf version and have it tested too, or just tester call here and through Canva? I’m not sure if that made sense but I’ll take any other ideas for testing my pdf patterns. Please let me know if you guys have Canva and think I could make something work out!
Thanks!

I have done a Ribblr test with the ribblr version and PDF version

You can test your pdf patterns here! Like you said, you could create a group chat on Ribblr and give them the canva link to test the pdf.

Also, if you are testing a Ribblr version at the same time, you could add your pdf to the Ribblr pattern and your pdf testers could access it through the pattern (this way, they get karma for testing)

Or you could run your test through Instagram or Facebook and just have people apply here on Ribblr. As long as you allow people to apply on Ribblr and don’t require them to apply elsewhere, you are good to go!

Do you think it would work to do a Instagram style tester call on here?

To be completely honest it has not gone over well in the past. A lot of the comments I got were “I don’t have Instagram so it’s not fair” even though it is a free site and completely within the rules on Ribblr.

If you mean a Ribblr tester call post asking for followers, sharing, liking, tagging people like people do on Instagram, that doesn’t really work here. A lot of people end up getting tagged randomly which a lot of people don’t want and we aren’t allowed to ask for people to follow us here.

I am currently making pdfs of all of my Ribblr patterns and have opted to only run my tester calls on Instagram. If I don’t get enough testers there, I will post a call here. My main reason for this is to grow my Instagram and all of my patterns have already been tested on Ribblr :blush:

Ok, that makes sense. Maybe I could modify it to make it more Ribblr friendly, or do a tester call through here and Instagram with links to each other. Thanks so much for your help!

That would be great - to have tester calls on both platforms.

As Nova said, many people don’t have an Instagram account, including me, so having a pattern test here is appreciated.

Also you have the ability to add the PDF version to your pattern so testers can also check out the pdf version as well.
