[READ] Todo List

Posted 9 years, 6 months ago (Edited 6 years, 9 months ago) by lulu

on the todo list in very rough order of priority:

  • Authorization levels - kinda done, but still looking for ways to improve
  • Worlds Overhaul.
  • View Previous Posts / Subscribed Threads / Created Threads
    • Actually probably just a General Forums overhall...
    • Allowing users to delete their own threads.
    • Showing when posts have been edited (+ possible for mods to see original post?)
  • Folder icons and blurbs
  • Species creation
  • Literature submissions/pages for characters
    • Changable privacy levels for the pages possibly
    • "AU" pages
  • Clean up mass image/character management
  • QoL fixes
    • Mass deletion, links to individual edit panels
    • "Next" button when browsing through character pages.
    • "Are You Sure You Want to Delete" pop-up when hitting delete for posts/comments/everything
  • Deleting comments probably needs a confirmation panel...
  • Site search
    • Character search by tag or unverified URL
    • Image search by URL might be useful too, hm
  • Fix thread notifications links to take you to the latest page... Actually I should have it take you directly to the post, I was too lazy when coding this and it's gonna be a pain in the ass to change now
    • Same with thread links on the forum's front page
  • Random character/user link (only for listed and public characters & users)
  • User autocompletion
  • Tag blocking
  • Layout fixing like just in general going around and fixing forms and also checking to see that everything wraps correctly
  • Liking or favving forum posts
  • World tags maybe
    • World galleries
  • Popular world listing on the front page thinks about it... Maybe worlds that've added a lot of members in the past few days? hm...
  • Have a look at a chat... I don't think cloudflare works with websockets so I'll need to have a think about it rubs chin I don't really like the idea of an AJAX chat
  • Image thumbnail / character avatar cropping tool
    • This is half done but I realised it was taking way too long so I've shelved it for later...
  • Drag & drop uploading
  • Bulk image/characters upload
  • Tagging images with multiple characters
    • stares into the distance i'm not looking forward to this
  • Image tagging and specialised/tagged galleries, embedded galleries for character pages
    • stares further into the distance... also not... looking forward to this...
  • Dice rollers on the forums
  • Downloading threads as a PDF/etc... / downloading character profiles?
  • Custom Post Formatting
  • Delete images from image manager
  • Character link sorting/deleting
    • Editable icons seperate from the character icons?
  • More user options including # of charas displayed on a page.

Feature fixes / comments

  • Watermarked thumbnails needs to be looked at, I'm not really happy with it atm.. 
  • Commission a logo artist for a clean logo 
  • I should just outsource the front end to a proper front end developer
  • Fix how images teleport when you try to drag one that's at the end of the row

Features I'm thinking about and welcome suggestions for:

  • Anonymous comments (if I do throw this in you're still certainly going to have to be logged in so the recipient can report malicious content if necessary)
  • Allowing for fandom/canon characters 
  • World chats - just mulling it over right now...

i've had some people tell me some suggestions but HAVEN't COME AND POSTED THEMSELVES, one asked about the size of the notifs in the notification center and if they could be smaller? idk tho i like them LMAo, and another asked about if NSFW art was allowed or not, or if there could be an option to flag a piece as nsfw. 

 

ALSO wondering about the placement of watermarks.. if there could be like a way to move it around instead of just center/tile/stretch? if not it' s alright!! but I ws just curious 

lulu

aomaoe i have no idea how nsfw tags didn't occur to me adds that to the list...

i'll have a look at notifs too, thank you!!

IM SORRY I KEEP COMMENTING BUT asks another question this time for Jotaku pings her, but she was wondering about having a request designer rights over designs? Like instead of having the owner set the designer, if they end up joining down the road, they could request design rights themselves and the owner can authorize or deny within their inbox

Jotaku

HELLO! First omfg thank you for creating such a cool site like wowzers!

I do have a suggestion, though!
Maybe putting bullitens in an area separate from submissions?  I noticed that the bulitens are very tiny in comparison w/ mass uploading of characters and art.  It is really easy to miss them and just clear all w/o seeing there was a bulliten there.

Another suggestion--and just for when the site is small/new.  Maybe a chat feature on the front/main page?  this obvsly wouldn't work when the site gets really large, but it could be a fun way to just chatter about w/ people while figuring out and uploading initially to the site?  IDK JUST AN IDEA totally get if it's not wanted.  I just remember really enjoying it on Nabyn.

Jotaku

OH a couple more suggestions --

- adding a page number list to the top of forum posts

- having a way to view ppl you subscribe to or authorize, and on the flip side, view ppl who subscribe to and authorize you?

- maybe a featured character option for userpages?

- maybe popular worlds listing on the front page? like how you have featured characters

aND IM SURE this  is already in the plan for FAQs, but how to link different users on their comments, submission info, page info, etc -- like general tips and tricks FAQ?  

 

Jotaku

omfg LAST SUGGESTION (I hope??) for the night
you know when browsing characters it has the little list of how many favs, images, and comments, right?  I think it'd be cool if the fav star would be filled in or different if it's on your fav list already! :DD

lulu

Jotaku THANKKK YOUUU FOR THE SUGGESTIONS OMG THIS WAS SUPER HELPFUL

  • Bulletins're now separated out from other activity
  • I think... There's already page numbers at the top of forum threads? It's just underneath the first post scratches head did you mean moving it above the thread?
  • You should now be able to view your authorized/subscribed users and stuff underneath account settings
  • You can now feature characters by favving your own characters - it'll display a random favourite and a few images on your profile page
  • Characters that you've favved now have a little yellow star yay 
  • i'LL... DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE FAQ im really bad at writing documentation sorry...

I'm still mulling over popular worlds (mostly trying to figure out how popular worlds're selected - probably number of members who've joined in the last week...).

The chat is an idea I've been very keen on but I've been kinda wary of it because I'm concerned about server load and I'm not sure how much the site's gonna cost to keep up atm, sweats but it's definitely something I wanna do!! I love on-site chats so much...

Jotaku

lulu YEAH NO PROBLEM!
and you know you're right about the forumn, sorry about that!  I'm used to it being at the top above the OP, so ignore that suggestion /laughs

bUT AWESOME thanks so much for taking my suggestions!  This site is super amazing so far *w*

Jotaku

rETURNS WITH ANOTHER SUGGESTION fjlsdfj

But maybe a tab or page, where we can view all of our links--like a page to display every link we have and between/with which characters?
Like it could list each character that has links, then you can click the character and view the links that character has?

Jotaku

aCTUALLY NVM THIS POST /removes what I said here
I had a suggestion but is probably a bit too much work than its worth /wheezes awkwardly

216th

Urm, world timeline for rp plots and stuff? Like a fishbone diagram layout for timeline maybe? Would probably need timelines within the timeline for events . . . 

Jotaku

I think it would be p cool to have an "art by user" or something tab in the same area as characters, designs, etc--like so any art around the site where they are marked as the artist would show up there?

nOT SURE IF THAt is possible or something you have interest in tho??  But could be a cool feature! :))

lulu

Jotaku omg FEEL FREE TO SUGGEST ANYTHING EVEN IF IT SEEMS TROUBLESOME -- if i can't throw it in right now we can definitely look at it in the future once the site's further along!! 

  • Links browsing - there's now a links page under your user page which shows every single link with a character you own; if you wanted a more general overview I've also added a "sort by number of links" option to character galleries for quick browsing.
  • Art galleries - I've thrown in an art page under user pages - the main reason I'm hesitant about this is that it's open to abuse (i.e. someone can upload a bunch of dicks and list you as the artist to spam your page), so I'll probably tweak it later to not show images from blocked users or smth... Scratches head...

THANK YOU FOR THE SUGGESTIONS AS USUAL!!

216th That's an interesting idea but as a feature it'll probably take awhile for me to design & code it - I'm guessing you're imagining being able to list events by fictional times & dates (so it accurately reflects the history of the IC world) rather than real dates (which would be more like a log of RP events)?

216th

Yep, fictional times and dates! 

. . . and yeah, I figured it would be difficult to code >_<

Just how plausible are levels of authorization? For example, an authorization level for commissioners to only see so many images unwatermarked.

And maybe I'm just paranoid but maybe thumbnails should be thumbnailed from the watermarked version of the images as well, instead of the unwatermarked? /o/ Or allowed to be an option ofc
