  • Software development takes time and has many unanticipated challenges that makes time estimation difficult. When developers do provide estimates users, managers etc then get stroppy when they slip by.

    Therefore the best strategy is just to ignore requests for time schedules because it’s a no win situation.



  • I always thought that NSFW was too vague a term. One person’s NSFW is different to another’s.

    What would work better is specific content tags. That would work well for trigger warnings too.

    It would cover porn: nudity, softcore, hardcore

    But also content themes: Alcoholism, drug taking, violence, suicide, war, guns

    It could even be used for spoilers.

    Users could then select the specific themes they didn’t want to see. For better UX you could have a slider that had pre selected levels. “strict”, “relaxed”, “everything”.

    Posts often present content warnings behind spoiler tags at the start. The idea being that some users don’t want the story spoiled by hearing what themes it contains. That’s why I believe this system would work. Rather than having the content warnings visible it all happens in the background through structured data. Your app already knows if it’s content you don’t want to see so it either hides it, or perhaps blurs it with a warning that you likely don’t want to read it.
