uggghh UI stuff is way too boring to be this difficult. I hate making UIs so much
but! #GAGSProject now automatically saves your gender preferences after every search, so you don’t have to enter them every time. I just need to do a few more things before I can consider hosting it somewhere for everyone to use. those things are:
- let the user set a blacklist
- automatically save the blacklist after every search
- I have to make a popup about following the reddit ToS :/
- get a reddit API key for the website
after that I’m pretty sure I can just start figuring out how to host it

here’s what the #GAGSProject UI looks like so far. the blacklist is still hardcoded and that’s the next thing I want to work on
also if enough beings end up using this I’ll probably go through everything and make sure that it’s screenreader friendly since I imagine that there are probably a lot of blind queers who like #GoneWildAudio

blacklisting works! and your blacklist is saved after every search, so you don’t have to re-type it every time (eventually I might add a “save” button below the blacklist too)
now I just need to figure out whether I’m going to host this on a server for people to access, or if I’m going to create an installer so that people can use it on their own computers. tbh unfortunately I’m probably going to end up going with the installer because I can’t afford a VPS right now. but that’s a shame because I’d love for everyone to have the convenience of just being able to go to a website to search for things

okay it’s looking like I might be able to host #GAGSProject for free with PythonAnywhere. but I need reddit to give me permission to host a website that uses their API, so I just submitted a request and hopefully they’ll approve it 🤞

@kasdeya didn't Reddit start charging for API access?
Also, if you just want to make the software available... a variety of gits exist (GitLab, GitHub and probably others)

kasdeya@shijikori I don’t just want to make it available - I want it to be easy-to-use so that even non-technical people can use it. at the moment there’s a whole Process you have to go through to make it work, which would be too much for most people who aren’t comfortable how Python venvs and pip work
but, I do have a it on one of those websites! I’ll probably post the link once I feel like it’s ready to be seen
but yeah they must have backtracked on their stance on API access because now it seems like they’re manually approving API keys for non-commercial uses
