Doujins 4.3 Update: Predictive Search, Black-Listing Tags
By Paul Fidika • 6 years ago

Good evening Doujins Fam! We've been cleaning up our list of tags and artists on the back-end to make the site cleaner and easier to use, but it's going to take a while to go through everything. Meanwhile our head developer / resident wizard Richard has some new features this month:

Doujins 4.3 Changes:

-Predictive Search Suggestions: One of our main goals with this new release is nailing search. Now whenever you put your cusor in the search box, or begin typing something, the site will come up with a list of up to 8 suggested searches, ranked based on realtime usage data. The more users who search a given query, the higher it will rank in the search-suggestions, so you can get an idea of what your fellow perverts errr... fans are searching for.

-Comments Page: Doujins.com is a huge, lonely site, with 100,000+ pages to comment on. Our long time users will remember that years ago we had a 'latest comments' page, that let you find the latest images being commented on so you can join in on the discussion. Well it's back! Expect this page to get some serious upgrades in the near future.

-White List / Black List: This has been a long time coming. Don't like a given tag, series, or artist? Do you hate netorare, Touhou doujins, and Naruho's artwork? Do you love lolicon, Takeda Hiromitsu, and mind control? I have any easy fix for you. Go to your account page (in the upper right hand corner), and type in whatever tags, artists, or series you like or dislike. Now whenever you browse the site, galleries containing your white-list items will have a gold border around them, making them readily identifiable. While galleries containing black-list items will be greyed-out, making them easy to ignore. We're currently limiting both lists to just 5 items each, so users don't go too overboard on this. This is our first effort in personalizing the Doujins.com experience for users. Let us know in the comments what you think of this, ways it can be changed or improved, etc.

-Favorite Hearts: A small visual tweak; whenever you favorite a gallery, the thumbnail for that gallery will now have a heart over it in the upper-right hand corner.

-Thumbnail Gradients: Another small visual tweak. Instead of having black boxes overlap thumbnail images to provide the background for title-text, we now have more asthetically-pleasing gradients.

Doujins 4.4 Suggested Changes:

-Commenting: Let users edit or delete their own comments

-Mobile: Bring back the 'swipe left' and 'swipe right' user-interactions on mobile devices for going to the next image or previous image in a gallery.

-Bookmarks: they need help. No one uses them.

-Dark-Mode: be able to switch the site from its current friendly light-theme to a more adult dark-theme instead.

-Blog Redesign: redesign the blog to make it look more like a professional news site.
