Future Plans

While I am constantly making improvements to the site, I think it's important to let everyone know what my plans are. Below you will find a running list of improvements that I plan to make... eventually :)

• Overal UI needs updating... lots of places where the styling is very simple and needs some love.
• Ability to 'Block' users, specific tags, and individual images from showing up on your feed, and also hide comments from blocked users.
• Ability to report images as NSFW.
• Autosaving. I actually had this implemented in the past. However, due to optimization issues with the save files, I axed it for now. I do think it's an important feature and will ponder how to better implement it.
• Select tool for moving, rotating, resizing, and copying portions of your drawing!
• Add local saving and remove the requirement to login to Dewdul in order to draw (You will still need to login to post the image). Perhaps also default the save to be local and make saving progress online a premium feature
• Leaderboards! I plan to add a tab to the main page to showcase the Users with the most Stars by Month, Week, Day and All Time!
• Contests?? This can be done pretty easily by utilizing the existing tag system, and I plan to do this if Dewdul becomes popular. However, an integrated contest system that allows anyone to host a contest sounds like a neat idea.
• Improve the Oil Brush and the Crayon tools. You've no idea how tough these are to implement from scratch lol But I plan to improve these brushes over time, including making them blend a bit better by adding a trail.
• I will add more as I think of them lol

Please also note that while I intend to stay true to the Dewdul community, I do eventually plan on adding some sort of revenue stream. I do not know what that will look like yet. Could be minimal ads (but I don't like ads), or could be some sort of membership for premium features. I will never make Stars purchasable.

Release Notes

One More Thing!

Some things I feel worthy of mentioning.

• Thank you! Thank you for reading this and thank you for using Dewdul. It means a lot
• I struggled a lot with optimizing the save files and animations. Some sacrifices had to be made, which results in large file size animations being reduced in quality to save space. I experimented with GIF, MP4, AVI, WebM, WebP, and ultimately landed on APNG. This allows me to keep color accuracey and also maintain a crisp image at low resolutions.
• I will add more as I think of them lol
