Since I’ve started adding funscript speed information to ScriptAxis, I’ve discovered that average speed is basically the number one most important metric that determines whether I’ll enjoy a script or not. So on a personal level, I’d love to see speed being added to posts in some way.
However I think that the speed tags would need to be objective and numbers-based. “Fast” to one person might be “Slow” to another - and without a standardized way of deciding which tag should apply, I worry that the tags would quickly become less useful and would just add to overall clutter.
The problem with making the tags numerical is, of course, is that everyone would need to use an external tool to get that number. AFAIK only my stuff shows a script’s speed, but it would take 10 minutes to add to OFS and HandyControl.
Then the question becomes what the units should be.
In my work, I show speed in units of “percentage points of movement per second” (%/s) - so if the Handy moves from 0 → 100 and back in one second, that’s a speed of 200%/s.
I know that in HandyControl, @Lucifie calculates what he terms ‘intensity’, which is exactly half of what I call ‘speed’. This is kind of nice because the round number of 100 represents ‘one stroke per second’, but I found it harder to work with on a practical level, which is why I switched to %/s.
That all being said, there is a limit on how much metadata we can add to topics to aid in searching and filtering on EroScripts. That’s kind of why I started working on ScriptAxis in the first place
