#selfship app

i’ve decided i’m going to try to learn to code so i can make a selfship/yumeship app :3

i’m sick of seeing ai/vibe-coded apps and there are a lot of features i want that i don’t see on other apps. also, there just… aren’t any selfship apps out there 😭

soooo please lmk what things you’d be interested in seeing in an app for selfshippers!

i might include:

- templates made BY MYSELF (not stolen from other artists, like a certain app there is…)

- sections for lore, writing, art etc etc

- obviously the ability to log multiple ships, and maybe have connections between ships for multi/poly selfshippers?

- totally offline, so all your data is stored on the device the app is installed on. this will make it more private, but will mean features like a friends list isn’t possible

- at SOME point, and with some funding and enough interest, an online version may be made to allow for friend lists and such

- widgets and f/o messages maybe?

- no dni, no barring ANYONE from using the app, no blocking people from any official socials (tumblr, discord, whatever) for the app

- if the app is found to be useful for something other than selfshipping (such as ‘regular’ shipping, irl partners, etc), then it will be encouraged to use it for that too

anyway!!

lmk what kinds of things you’d be interested in seeing! i need to know what exactly i want for the app to better approach learning to code (i.e. prioritising certain things over others, after learning all the basics)

a note on my doubles dni stance:

i ask kindly that doubles do NOT contact me directly. please use the anon ask feature on my blog if you have any suggestions

this app (and any social medias connected to it) will have absolutely no “dni” attached to it, but for myself personally on this blog, do not contact me directly if you are a double

when the app is actually in development, it will have a tumblr blog dedicated to it, and potentially a discord server. these will be open to ALL, regardless of my personal boundaries and opinions

Okay okay, hear me out…

A section of the app that’s like a collage maker, but you can make it into a digital shrine…

I’m not sure how exactly this will work, but maybe it can be like a pinboard with slots to upload images? Or one of those photo garlands with the polaroids pegged to some string?

I think that would be so cutie but I lowkey have zero idea how to get there lol

This will go in “Potential Plans” I think

Hey Nonnie! Yes, this will be one of the most prioritised accessibility options!

I thought I’d made a post about it, but I think I only added it to the list of Current Plans a couple days ago without saying anything publicly, so that’s my bad :,)

But anyway, yes, a dyslexia-friendly font option is 100% going to be an option, no doubt

Im really excited to see how this turns out and if you neeed any help lmk ^^

Hey Nonnie, thank you so much for this!

I agree wholeheartedly with that, it’s frankly quite childish to try and ban some people and not others from using an app. If I wanted to do that, I wouldn’t be posting about it publicly

I do think that a lot of people are misunderstanding the purpose of the app as well (as seen by multiple comments here lol). This app is not a social app. You, the user, won’t know who uses it, and I, the developer, won’t know either. You won’t interact with other people. There are no likes, reblogs, shares, etc. No DMs, no comments. It’s just a place to store information about you and your partner(s)

Therefore, it doesn’t matter what someone uses the app for. It’s completely private (unless you share screenshots), so it’s not “encouraging” any behaviour. People are already slapping incorrect labels on the app and it’s not even in development yet lol

Anyway. Use the app for whatever you want. It’s all on your computer anyway, so anything illegal you do, will be on your computer as well. That’s not my problem. That’s your problem, and the police’s problem. I cannot do anything about it, whether I want to or not

Say it with me again:

This will not be a social media app !!

Thanks again for the ask, Anon! I really do appreciate your support and I hope you have a lovely day <3

Oooh I really like that! I was going to try and have a dark and light mode anyway, and maybe some other themes with accessibility options (like high contrast, muted colours to avoid eyestrain, etc), and while I’m not sure how easy it’ll be to make everything fully customisable, different themes would definitely be really cool!

Different themes will be in “Current Plans” and full customisation will be in “Potential Plans” C:
