Kinkstruction

Important Note

Before we go any further, you should know that this code is for an adult website. There is--and will be--no obscene or pornagraphic content within the repository itself. However, if you're under 18 years of age or are offended by viewing the code behind a site that allows graphic descriptions of sexual acts and BDSM activities, then you should probably leave now.

So, what is this, anyway?

The idea behind Kinkstruction is to fill a specific niche within BDSM: task tracking and some social networking around the tracking of said tasks (presumably, the tasks would be given from a dominant to a submissive, but that need not be the case). Doing this can serve several purposes, including:

• "Spicing up" long distance BDSM relationships.

• Sharing tasks with friends or with everyone on Kinkstruction, allowing for commentary, cheerleading, or even humiliation. (Note that no information about users or tasks will ever be viewable by web crawlers or anyone who does not have an account.)

• By assigning points to tasks, kinkstruction provides a pathway to gamification of BDSM-oriented tasks.

What is now the main idea behind Kinkstruction started as a much simpler web application for keeping track of orgasms and tease & denial sessions.

Also, did I mention that it's free?

Not only free to join and use, but the software is open source (you're looking at the code repository right now)!

Interesting...will it be able to do anything else?

There are several ideas in the queue (some more half-baked than others), including:

• Tasks that are dependent upon how users vote on a poll attached to the task (eg voting on a type of punishment, adding one day of chastity for every upvote, etc).

• Various games of chance that submissives can use for gambling their points.

• Repeated writing tasks--e.g. writing "I will be a good boy for Mistress" ten times. Without the use of backspace or repositioning the cursor. Point penalties apply for each mistake.

• Tasks attached to timers.

• Tasks that are built upon events attached to timers. This would allow Kinkstruction to compete with milovana.com (NSFW link).

• And several more. Take a look at the issues for other ideas.

Neat! Can I contribute?

Oh dear gods, yes! Pull requests are more than welcome. Besides creating an issue, I'm also available via email (admin [at] kinkstruction [dot] com).

When can I sign up and start using the site?

I'm still working on an MVP (minimum viable product) right now. However, I have a day job, so I can't hack away at Kinkstruction as much as I'd like. I'm roughly aiming to have the MVP up and running by September 15 the end of September (that's a rough ETA, however).
