FapTap - Watch funscripts directly in your browser

Overall I am a bit torn between: Use the scripts if you want. There not special, creative content, hard to make or require much skill. They just take some time to take, nothing more. Give me some credit if you want, if not then it’s okay as well.

And: I don’t want anybody to use my scripts without asking for allowance. I put time and effort into them and always try to make them as perfect as possible. If you want to use them, you should give credit to me.

My attitude mostly changed to the first one, even though it was the second one for a long time. But I stopped caring so much about my scripts. If people like, cool. If not, cool as well, because I like them and want to use them. Stopping others using them without my permission is something I am not able to do and don’t want to. I can put this time and energy somewhere else.

I can absolutely agree on that. But the question is, what should we do about it?
So far I see these option: Stop making any scripts, which will not bring the interactive scene and devices forward.
Or: Still making scripts, bringing the scene and devices forward and hoping things will get better. Trying to focus on the positive things and being happy about the little interaction and feedback we get.

@tsianyu
Thank you for the feedback. Scripts are added manually, so I might have missed your post. The EroScripts “feed/newest topics” view isn’t the best. I’ll add your videos.

@sobolsdaemon1
I can’t remember us having any kind of conversation. You only posted one message on this thread and also never answered to my post that included a question to you.

I also added the “report/dmca” button in the meantime, which you found missing.

(second post)
The “other” platform is probably MEGA? As stated before, FapTap doesn’t host any videos, just gives you the direct streaming links for the respective websites. So yes, if you only provide MEGA links, FapTap cannot host the video by design.

“I cant count…already know the Answer chris will give:”
I have a very large backlog and lots of other open tasks. One thing at a time. It’s not my main job, but a project I develop in my freetime. Developing a full-stack project on your own takes a lot of time (front-end, back-end, databases, hosting, content management, etc.). Again, as far as I know you never talked to me, except for one post where you never replied to my question.

Stop creating scripts if you want, nobody is forcing you to make them. But please be open to a conversation before (DM me if you want) and we can work something out, instead of acting like this.

@Husky
It seems like a content management system for FapTap is greatly needed where scripters can upload/manage their own content. If you ever visited FapTap and opened a video, there is a lot of free space next to the video (on the side). There scripters could promote their shop, or something else (just an idea).

Regarding the “Funscript” link. Look at it from a perspective of someone that hasn’t heard of EroScripts. The user clicks the link and is then presented with a generic “this page does not exist or is private”. Most of the time you would think it got deleted. It would probably be better to make the page public, but require “liking” the thread to be able to download the script (I don’t know if that’s a functionality on Discourse).

@Slibowitz
Thank you for the recommendations, as stated above, I will look into creating a content management system for scripters (when time permits). Subscribing to creators and other features are great ideas.

I have also seen numerous threads where people spent a lot of time creating a good script and only getting a few likes and no comments. It is simply getting buried, but FapTap can help solve that problem. While Eroscripts is simply a forum (Discourse), FapTap is specifically tailored for video/funscript streaming.

In conclusion,
a content management system for script creators should probably be implemented, where creators can manage their own content. This will give them more visibility. I’d say over time it would give them more exposure than on EroScripts, because of a lower entry barrier.

Additionally, an “exclusive” scripts feature could be implemented, where users can subscribe to creators and enjoy their content (like a marketplace). This way, content creators can profit off FapTap and that would also increase motivation.

What do you think about this?

hey im using faptap on IOS but i cant seem to fullscreen any video on the site :frowning:

119

I’d really like a system like this. I also think that a forum like this isn’t the best for the content. Like you mentioned as well, the problem that threads get buried is very likely and annoying and demotivating for the creator. You also have more option a website to filter out stuff, highlight new content, bump random content, showcase popular content and so on. Something that is not possible on a forum.

This would be great idea. Both side can profit by this. Faptap gets a little out of it, to maintain the site and compensate for the server cost and the scripter gets something out of. Cool idea, hope this is something that can be implemented one day.

thank you for the feedback.

Yes, unfortunately this problem still persists. This is due iOS (Safari, also Chrome on iOS because it also uses the WebKit engine there) not supporting the fullscreen API. I don’t really have access to an iOS device to test, but I hope to fix it in the future.

Pls contiue to be ignorant and arogant af:

I really like that! (irone detected)

Burningshroom answered that to my full satisfaction. Why should i rewite everything he wrote? I even gave his comment a “like” to show that it was good. Guessing you did not see that.

No, i do not mean Mega, i mean faptap and Bukkake.moe. Yes you dont host the video. I have no credit on the video, so i dont give a f about the video. I have credit on the Script, and you host that. (Or did you find a way to stream the Script from ES and dont have the file on your Server?)

Something that really grinds my gears (although that might be silly): You use the material that others have created and don’t even have the decency to give the creators feedback or a like. You obviously select the videos by hand, so you have to at least partially watch them and test the associated script. I don’t think you watch every video and script in its entirety, but you probably check before you upload it. Why can’t you hit the little gray heart and maybe even leave a comment? (Yes, that may seem ridiculous, but we already get little feedback on the scripts, so as someone who uses the scripts for yourself, you should give feedback. Because I haven’t found a way to give feedback on your website yet? Guessing thats on the Todolist as well.)

So what? If i take you website, create a clone and say “i will edit it later” does that change the fakt i “stole” your website? Dont think so. I know how much time creating and updating a database takes. I am responsable for a Database with far more than 2mio entrys at work. Thats why i have a “admin”-Version and a “Live”-Version. My users will never see the “admin”-Version and i can try everythin i like and edit everythin without my users having a clue whats going on in the Background. If i want to test anything that my users see i ask/inform them BEFORE i edit the “Live”-version.

Do i want you to use my content, or do you want to use my content?

I really had hope for you project, but with this:

You have shown me how much you care about others and how arogant you are. I will not go the madscripts-way as of right now and request you to remove my content from you website, but i hope for you to start understanding what i am trying to say.

I have the feeling you start to understand:

And will keep an eye on this project. But pls stop being so arogant! If you did not recognize yet: Your website depends an the Scripters.

122

I prefer keeping my scripts and videos locally (especially since the Great Purge) and like the flexibility this offers me, but I realise I may be in the minority here. I value the posts/descriptions added by script authors and the “open-source/pioneering” vibe of the scripting community and I would hate to see that go away.

In my opinion the authors need to specify how and where their works can be used. Every funscript already has a license attribute which is usually left empty or set to “free”. Authors could choose to point to an existing license (MIT,GPL,etc) or perhaps the scripting community could come up with/publish its own standardised family of licenses (perhaps on github) that scripts can refer to. It should be easy for site-owners to determine what is and is not permitted by the script author.

The funscript format itself could be extended with additional metadata attributes to improve the visibility of authors work; such as a link to their website/patreon or a base64 encoded splash-screen image to be shown before or after the video. The license could include specifications with regard to how these attributes must be used and presented on sites that show their work.

If implemented the above should be standardised and recognized and applied consistently by the community as a whole so its automatable and easy for site-owners to act on the information.

123

That exists already in OFS, but how many users check metadata? I mean we’re already talking about a much lower bar of clicking a link to the source page and a more accessible solution has already been brought up.

The splash is a neat idea. However, if that sort of thing causes any sort of issue in playback, I’m convinced at this point Chris would do what he can to circumvent it instead of finding an ethical solution.

Easy, ethical solutions have been provided to him that have been ignored. I don’t know what his goals are at this point. It’s obvious and he has admitted to manually curating the content so there’s no excuse not to, as a bare minimum, name the creator in the funscript link.

EDIT: What’s frustrating here is that he also isn’t making money from his project and is trying to drive traffic there but acts like he doesn’t understand why script creators would want the same for themselves. It’s lunacy and self defeating. If he’s acting this way because he wants to be the sole proprietor of the de facto independent script provider, then he needs to cater to his content creators. Otherwise he’ll find all of his free content behind a paywall.

If you download Aloha Browser on the app store you can go full screen by holding down on the full screen button and tap the first option play and it should work from there. Hope this helps.

sucks that creators dont get the credit they deserve. you’d have no content to put up if they didnt script vids your site hosts

hopefully you and the creators who have issue can come to some understanding because you have a winner of an idea when it comes to the future of script based pornography for these toys, atleast at the casual enjoyer level. thats my 2cents wouldnt want to just let you leave it on the ground

Content management system would be the best solution. However, for scripters who don’t care about their content on faptap (me included) it would be nice to have a small profile icon under the video, somewhere next to the performer/studio. When you click it, it could bring you to scripter’s profile on eroscripts. This way scripters can add links to e.g. portfolio / shop without the need of managing multiple accounts on multiple sites.

As for the “Funscript” link, maybe you could add a single-time pop-up that can bring new people to this post which explains what kind of community we are and how to access all content: About EroScripts [NEW USERS START HERE].

Something like: "You don’t see the script post? Read this first: … "

@Husky

User profiles, as well as script portfolios also return a generic “not found page”.

But a dialog instead of a direct link could certainly be implemented, additionally it would provide a much smoother UX, thank you.

Basically, you click on “Funscript” and a dialog opens. The dialog contains this information (idea):

  • "The original funscript is hosted on EroScripts. To be able to view the content, you need to register yourself […]. Click here (link to getting started thread) to get started.
  • Link to the EroScripts funscript thread.

This way it is very clear what the user has to do.

When implementing the CMS, I would just create pseudo-accounts for the scripters that don’t care/don’t want to mange the content themselves, add all scripts to this account and insert a link to their EroScripts profile (or whatever link is preferred). This way, would the scripter ever become interested, they could just request access.

Part of the problem is that he’s not hosting videos and the scripts are being hosted by him. He manually pulls the scripts from here then hosts them on his own site.
When he originally posted his site myself and others pointed out bukkake.moe which had a similar problem of credit attribution that was solved. He instead ignored that and most of the subsequent calls for attribution or consideration.

@Faptap

If you use some kind of task tracking tool it may be helpful to share a screencap without anything sensitive/secret/surprise showing. Just as a dev I know all kinds of different people have their own wants/needs and prioritization of things.

It’s your project, and a side one at that. Nobody can truly say what or when to do things. Sharing what is on the list or in the pipeline would help to reassure people on things to be addressed. Put out little fires so you don’t have to put as much effort into chatter about it.

This is my point of view.

The scripts I personally make are for myself, I only upload them here so others can use them and don’t really mind if people use them, change them or whatever.
BUT
I also believe that it is literally not hard to just add “created by: insert username here” in a description or goddamn anything. Even forget about just the fact of crediting the creator, but even from a user standpoint. When someone really likes a script (let’s say ahe’s script), they might be interested in clicking the link to see if there is more but as soon as they see they have to log in they will just decide it’s not worth it. They’re there for a quick and a nice fap, not to create an account on some board just to look for some scripts.

Wouldn’t it be so much simpler to just add who it was created by so the user can see who’s scripts they actually like so they can look for more scripts from said person? You solve two issues at the same time, the creator of the script gets credit (reasonable since you host the script), and the user can see who it was made by and they can instantly decide “oh, I don’t like this guys/girls scripts” or “I love this guys/girls scripts!”

That’s why I would suggest something like this:
o Just add a simple text somewhere that says “Script created by: insert user here”
o When you have time (long term idea) make it so the user can click on the script creator’s name and look at all scripts they made (essentially sorting the videos by scripter, just like you currently do with categories)

I hope we can all come to an agreement one way or another.

I already told him how to do just that and it’s so trivial to do in html that it’s truly perplexing as to why he hasn’t done it already.

132

I wonder…if the link to eroscript is in the video, doesn’t that count as recognition?

I mean eroscript is the only place where [creatorname] exists, why would anyone care about an script creator’s name if they dont have an account on this forum anyway.

btw cool down ur attitude towards chris, he basically set yall free from the crappy handyfeel interface.

133

I am not gonne answer that, as burningshrooms wrote enough about that. He even Made a nice lineup, What should be neccecary for ethical correct Credit.

It’s Not only about giving Credit, it’s also about His Attitude. It’s simply Not His choise to make, but the scripters choise.

I will certenly Not! We already have a really nice Platform Whose creator CONTACTED the Scripters and built it up WITH them. Also: i dont have a Problem with handyfeelen or Scriptplayer.

Oh, and Welcome to the Community Bobel. :stuck_out_tongue:

134

Handyfeeling.com really is the worst option. It’s not great in general, many videos just don’t work, and it’s only functional for the Handy.
There are several other options and Faptap isn’t even the only site with this specific functionality. He didn’t free anyone from anything. He made a decent site with a great UI and then neglected the content creators.

What really beats me is how yall are bashing him for creating an excelent alternative to the tedious handy local video method, specially AS scripters, if anything he is giving you MORE exposure, as the link to your post is shown on the video page, You’re now able to catch traffic from sources you otherwise would have not.

Any traffic he is likely to get comes from this website until it gains some relevance/seo and it can turn to be the other way around.

Also you claiming he wants to be the sole owner of script providing is a little naive considering that, as you mention he isn’t making money off it. ( which he deserves and prolly will make because he is solving a problem that many people may have )

Why hasn’t anyone else provided this solution? what prevents him from not crediting anyone? Unethical you say… let alone he said he would be enhancing the authors creditting method as the task steps up on the to do list without him being obligated to do so
