[READ] Todo List

Posted 9 years, 6 months ago (Edited 6 years, 10 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...

this is also a shot in the dark because i have no idea if it could work?? but as for tagging characters in separate images, perhaps instead have a "character ping system" that relies on the ID of each character submission? so in order to easily link or ping a character to an individual image upload, either just have the person write in the description, or alongside the area that lists the artist, put a "featuring:" and in there you'd write for example, :id5712: to link the characters?

for the "featuring:" addition, i assume it'd be a little like adding to the descriptions of chars themselves and you can add however many characters are featured in the image. of course this sort of thing would only work for characters already on th, but ye <:3

I'm not sure how many other people would use this but I'd love if we could put a little blurb of text inside folders (maybe under the folder name somewhere?). My folders separate things more into biomes, so it'd be helpful for me to describe what kinds of characters will be found in each one.

ANOTHER SUGGESTION sgfgh i'm sorry i'm just full of them suddenly,

i realize that some approvals i've been asked to make are for characters that are marked private, and they have no icon which leaves me with honestly no clue what exactly i'm approving. i can't tell if they're mislabeling a character that might be drawn by someone else, or if by chance someone might be submitting a design plagiarized from mine that's claimed to be legit (unbeknownst to them). of course i'm not accusing anyone of anything since thankfully that hasn't been the case yet! but i really don't like that i can't even see what i'm approving?!

so my suggestion would to be to allow confirmed creators to view their designs, even if they're private. i understand if that's too privacy-breachy to allow, but yeah, it'd make things easier on me and others who are faced with the same issue without having to go back and forth asking what character is which :'D

groups?

As far as NSFW content, there's a way to tag images, but not actual text fields or characters (please, correct me if I'm wrong. I'm a derp sometimes).

Firstly, I think that having the option to flag an entire character as NSFW would be great.
Secondly, the ability to tag only text-based profile contents, such as a spoiler-type show/hide field, so people can safely browse the PG-13 aspects of the character without bumping into the NSFW (unless they want to).

Galleries within worlds sounds cool, suchas if someone makes a world for an RP group, instead of just having submitted characters and bulletins and forums.. how about a gallery feature too? Maybe.. if it can be implemented, for submissions of just artwork for the characters within the group, if that makes sense. sgjdkfsd

Ah I just wanted to let you know that the thumbnail watermarks work but when you click on them the watermark dosent show up >w<

First I want to thank you for making this awesome site! I'm having so much fun getting to see everyone's characters, and I love the tools available for posting my own! I couldn't ask for a better place to show my characters! ♥

Anyway, I think I read everything on here, sorry if I missed it, but I don't think it's been mentioned before... Not something we would need anytime soon, or even ever, but I just thought would bring it up~ It would be nice to add an image to the folders we can put characters into~ I use mine for my worlds, so I would put a image that represents that world, if someone else did them by species, they could have an image to represent those~ Not sure if it's a silly idea, but I figured it was worth mentioning~ Thanks for taking the time to read~ : )

I had a great idea! I see some people putting their characters name like this   "Name [Species Name" but it looks messy because thats supposed to be their cute name slot right?
I wondered if it would be a possibility for an optional slot below the name, for species name? It would be smaller text and maybe a greyish color. Just an idea :3

minsu

beagalltach Oh, linking characters sounds pretty cool. I think we've got something similar in mind, but its kind of minor compared to the big features we're trying to get hammered out right now. Not sure about the featuring thing...will bring it up!

Re: privacy and character approvals, yeah, I will def. bring it up in staff chat.

@Chuchuzorua That sounds like a great idea! I'll slap it on the to-do list.

@Oceanlights Worlds are supposed to fill that niche. : )

Talross We've been getting a lot of questions about NSFW, so I think we'll add more features for that soon. A spoiler tag can be added through HTML/CSS, I think someone posted about it there - hopefully that'll do for now.

aomaoe kisses for aimee That sounds cool and is something we will talk about!

@Derpybunnies They don't show up for you, since you're the creator, but there should be an option for you to click and view the watermarked version!


TreeTale Thank you so much! The staff is working very hard and we're so glad to hear everyone's feedback. To clarify on your suggestion, do you mean like...an icon for folders similar to how you can change world icons?

MamaELM Sorry I'm not Lulu, but, at the moment we were hoping people can use tags to solve that. Mostly because we don't want everything to get super crowded. : (

OKAY I THINK...I GOT EVERYONE... if I missed you or did not respond to your request/suggestion/comment fully please feel free to ping me back!

TreeTale

minsu Umm, yes~ Even if they had to be a certain size or had other limitations, I just thought it would be nice to customize them~ : ) I totally understand if it isn't looked at for some time, or if it's not an option, but yes, you have the right idea of what I meant~:D

Thank you so much for your hard work, and thanks for taking the time to read my suggestion~ ♥

aomaoe

OHH I GOT A KISS! KISSES FOR MINSU TOO!! minsu TY for considering it!! ; V ; !! I thought it'd be cool... since RP groups here sound REALLY fun, but it would get hard to keep track of all the artwork for that specific group.

MamaELM

minsu
Thanks! (I wasn't sure who all i should ping with suggestions)
The only reason I don't want to use tags AT ALL right now, is because they hog up SO much of the top of my pages there, plus they aren't visible from the thumbnail of the characters. I understand not wanting to make things crowded, but something along the lines of below wouldn't take up tooo much space,

the Hobbit Owner

especially since it seems that thumbnails have set widths of about 200 pixels, cause I saw someone using 20x20 images as their character thumbnails, but they are still very wide boxes. Either way, I'll figure it out, this site is amazing ;U


minsu

TreeTale Its been added to our to-do list, no comment or promises on when it'll be out. Sorry...

aomaoe yah yah yah!! kisses and hugs Gallery is probably gonna be...uh...down there... def. not a feature coming soon. We're trying to slog through the easy/important stuff on the to-do list first. o7

MamaELM Feel free to ping anyone! Pinging me will probably get you a response faster haha /waves my secretary pen. Ah, I see your point there. Would you prefer an option where you can hide tags from the top of your character page? I ask because we're probably not gonna change that in the future because global search is 99.99% going to be tag search.

TreeTale

minsu Oh no, no need to be sorry~ I appreciate you even taking the time to read my suggestion, and I knew it wasn't a important thing, just mentioning a random thought~ : ) Thank you~ ♥
