[SLIMG] Your Input Needed: Start of a New Development Cycle for Slimg Its been about 2 months since my last major post, so I figured it was time to make an update here about Slimg. Thank you to everyone for using our site and being patient with us. Up until this week the major focus has been upgrading our servers and migrating to a new host. We now have separate hosting and processing servers and the infrastructure has been upgraded in such a way that as we grow we can easily add new processing servers to handle the load. While it did not go as smoothly as we had hoped the resulting issues should all be addressed by now so we can focus on developing new features.  In the past days I've seen a couple of threads about Slimg in /v/whatever where people have asked where to donate. I just want to clear this up  and say we don't accept donations and we don't need donations. We love the support but the best way to support us is to use our service. The first version of our image editor will support cropping and a simple pencil tool. To prevent user from altering a picture once it becomes popular editing a picture will result in an entirely new image being generated. So if your image key was abc.jpg the edited version will be def.jpg.   Since we've implemented tagging and the ability to view images/albums that belong to a tag, it has been requested by a few people to add the ability to search and view the tags. We will be seeking more feedback on this feature as we start to build it out, let us know below what you'd expect in a section like this.  A drag and drop system will be implemented to resequence albums. This is been a requested feature pretty much since day 1 so it's about time we got around to it.  We believe in the ideals of Voat, the most important being free speech and accountability. To improve transparency we will be recording all deletions and maintaining a log so if a user finds a dead link they will be able to investigate why that image is no longer available. Only basic information will be given to the user like such as: Deleted by uploader or Deleted by admin. If deleted by an admin a simple reason will be given. Such as "DMCA", or "Illegal Content". This will only apply for images going forward since we don't have records going back. Personally I can tell you that to date I've had to remove less than 10 images since we switched to the sli.mg domain. Now that we have access to the Voat testing API, /u/CrispyKat is beginning development to integrate Voat comments and features into the site. We're not sure how extensive this will be but will provide regular updates in the /v/slimg subverse.  So the reason for this post is we're looking for anything else you can think of for new features you would like to see.  Fatpeoplehate is where we got started and we would not be here today without your continued support. So we want to be sure that you all get a say in the direction we take this site. If you have any other questions or suggestions about the site is run please let me know, as always I'll be hanging around in this thread for the next couple hours. For the more technical questions be sure to tag /u/CrispyKat so he sees them.
