Trading Post: A place to share features and filters!

We’ve just made a pretty big addition to the FeatureFinder website: it’s called the Trading Post and it’s a place for users to share custom features and filters.

What does this mean for you? Well, if you have a feature or filter that you want to share, you can just head over to tradingpost.featurefinder.ca and upload it. You can also peruse other features and filters, and then download any that you’d like. Here’s how to upload a file:

  1. Click “Register” to setup a username and password
  2. Upload your feature/filter and a description
  3. See your feature/filter appear instantly on the site!

And that’s all there is to it. As always, drop us a note if you have any questions.
