Hobbi is the new Facebook app: Pinterest is warned. Here’s what it is

It’s called Hobbi, and it’s the new Facebook application. What does it allow you to do? Essentially it guarantees users who love the hobby to create a real community where they can share manual jobs but also organize them in specific folders.

A DIY social network that looks a lot like Pinterest and that perhaps in some way does the right thing to it. In this case, the application was launched by the giant of Menlo Park a little muted, for the moment, only for iOS, but it is possible that the plans are very different.

Hobbi: the new application for ” hobbyists “

Hobbi seems to be more of an experiment than an application ready to immediately conquer users. The will by Facebook, which released it, is to create new tools capable of attracting users also to other platforms of the Menlo Park giant.

For the moment, Hobbi is only available in some areas of the world, and its fate will be in the hands of users, thus providing for new investments for the future.

How does the application work? Hobbi has the will to take into consideration users who love doing manual jobs, allowing them to have a platform where they can share their work, but also where they can keep and show everyone their works.

We go from work for bricolage, to those for recipes but also to interior design or even carpentry. In short, basically everything does a bit ‘what has been happening for some years with Pinterest.

Hobbi has a minimal and simple structure in line with what Facebook is doing with the new layout of its main social network. Basically, after uploading the personal photo, it is possible to choose the thematic folder where to place the image by personalizing everything and guaranteeing an online space to store the photos. It is still not possible to share the contents, but it is still possible to save and create videos capable of joining all the images contemplating a kind of timeline of the progress.

The thing that surprised most in these first days of experimental launch in the USA as well as in Belgium, Spana, Ukraine, and Colombia, is the social part that is completely absent.

Only the user in practice can see their actions on the account, while it is possible to simply share the video at the end of the project on other social networks, as a sort of Instagram story, even if in a simpler way.
