Hi guys. Sorry for reviving such an old post, but I was searching for the 'state of the art' in porn stash software and found this thread and felt compelled to write here. I'm a software engineer who loves porn. For a while now I think of writing a software (like many here) to manage the stash, but I think my approach is a bit different and I'd like to hear what you think. The problem to solve is: I have an ever-growing porn collection in an external hard drive, all messed up. Tons of folders, no real structure, videos and images mixed up, some sorted in folders, some mixed up, etc. It's a mess. So... 1- How to organize everything in a way that makes specific content easy to find? e.g.: I want to see all my pictures featuring a girl on her knees wearing pink socks (c'mon, you know porn tastes can get that specific). 2- How do I make the collection coherent? e.g.: I have a FLV video downloaded from Xvideos which was ripped from some paid site. I also have the full HD video from the site (which I bought later). Inside the disk they are in very different places/folders. I'd like to be able to see that I have two media files for the same 'set'. Same goes for image stills that sometimes comes with the video. 3- How can I make the stash handy, easy to 'use'? e.g.: OK, I'm seeing all my media that fits some criteria. How do I display this in a nice way? With these needs in mind, I've come up with a bunch of ideas. Essentially the app would be divided in two fronts, one to categorize your media, the other to use it. Maybe the same app, I don't know. The first would scan your stash and let you categorize every item (in handy ways, as you wish - file by file, folder by folder, etc), and it would revolve around TAGS, not categories. This way, a single item can fit in various classifications. It would ask you for the source of your download (the full link, the original website, etc - everything that could make it easy to find it again in case you ever lost it); it would ask you for the metadata about the file (is this a scene from a site? which site? what's it called? which actors and actresses appears in this item? etc); it would let you tag and group it with other items belonging to this same 'set'; among various other features. The second one would make the best use possible of this database: let you search for tags and filter what you see in real-time; find content based on any criteria you can think of; play videos, display gifs, show images and sets of images in a nice, easy-to-navigate way; have cool random-pick features, etc I like the video previews you get when you mouse-over a video thumbnail on these porn-tubes, so this would probably be a web app, to run local on your machine. But maybe a desktop app would suffice, don't know. Thinking of the long run, I also think of adding cool smart features to the categorizer: try to automatically look for links for a given set based on the website name and scene title. Stuff like that. Going even further, I think of letting this have a download/queue manager of its own - I don't know how you guys browse porn but I often have tons of links on text files to 'download later', and some content is more or less friendly to downloading using regular means. Sounds big, but I'm really looking into it. I'm used to breaking down complex software into smaller parts: first of all I'd like to have my full collection properly tagged and categorized. That's my point of start. Hell, it could even become a product(and maybe more generic, for media categorization/browsing in general, not only porn, who knows). Do you think you guys would benefit from something like that? Thanks and nice to meet you all! | |
