Ready to see the beta site? - September '22 Update
🕑 Added 2022-09-04 11:34:55 +0000 UTCA puppy is a lot of effort.
Hey everyone! Thanks for continuing your patronage.
Last month I have been working a little less but focussing on getting the beta website ready for launch to you patrons. That means getting it ready to run with the "production" database and adding a restriction to only allow logged in accounts that are linked to an active Patreon account access.
This has mostly succeeded. The biggest issue is the new way of filtering content. Instead of doing it by category, in the new version there will be specific checkboxes during upload that ask if the video contains popping and/or nudity. Since the new and old site have to be running at the same time on the same database (and not break filtering on the old site), this won't be tested yet.
I hope to be able to launch the beta website somewhere next week or the week thereafter, and launch the new site for everyone in late September/early October.
Wait, but I thought this would be testing for a couple months?
Yes, so did I, but it turns out renting more server space also costs more money. Who would've thought? Due to my miscalculation, I've lost over a $100 this month on hosting. It would however be losing over $200 if it wasn't for some credit that had build up, so thanks!
This means I want to get this all streamlined ASAP, so I can dump the current main server and not pay for it for (the majority of) October. This does mean that you guys get a less timed exclusive, so sorry about that! It will however be easier for me to develop new stuff on the website, so the beta site will be evolving.
Hope to post again coming week about access to the beta website!
Cheers,
Rick

That is definitely a popular demand! Not sure I'll be able to get this in soon, but for the next version it is a must to implement. Expect it somewhere at the end of 2023 for InflateVids if I can't find a way to do it sooner.

Hi Rick, first of all thank you for your wonderful work with Inflate Vids. Have one more idea: maybe add a gallery section. This would be an offer to users who don't want to (or can't) make own videos. Users could organize their images into galleries, with a thumbnail - similar to the videos. And the same categories and filters. Greetings blowupguy
