It’s been a busy few weeks behind the scenes at Locationscout. As photographers, we all know that presentation is everything. Whether it’s the way light hits a landscape or the way a photo is framed on a screen, the details matter.
That’s why I’m incredibly excited to finally pull back the curtain on the next big update to the platform.
The New Feed
The core of Locationscout has always been the incredible imagery shared by this community. I felt the old feed wasn't doing those shots justice anymore.
I’ve redesigned it to be larger, bolder, and more modern, but in a subtle way without a complete rework. The new layout gives your photos more room and uses a refined design language that makes browsing for your next photo spot a much more immersive experience. Fewer lines and layers - more focus on the beautiful photos.
Dark Mode
I originally only intended to build a "Dark Mode" toggle for the feed as a quick evening side project... but that escalated quickly.
As soon as I saw how good the photos looked against a dark background, I couldn't stop. That "small update" quickly turned into a deep dive into the entire platform. I’ve spent the last few weeks reviewing almost every template and fine-tuning dozens of icons to ensure they look crisp and intentional, whether you’re browsing in the light or the dark. There is a new switch in the top right with a subtle animation.
Dark Mode is now available across the entire website. It’s easier on the eyes during those late-night editing sessions and, in my opinion, makes the colors in your photography truly pop.
I Want to Hear From You!
Locationscout has always been built for the community, and I want to know what you think of these changes.
- How does the new feed feel to you?
- Are there any specific areas where Dark Mode needs a bit more polish?
- Is there a specific feature you’d love to see redesigned next?
And the most important question: Are you Team Light or Team Dark?
Drop a comment below or send me an email. I’m all ears and ready to keep refining this home for our photography.
Thank you for your thoughts, and I hope you are having a great year so far. Manuel
