Show HN: My porn startup

21 pointsby pyfapover 12 years ago
Ever find good porn but can't get to it right away? What about something you really enjoyed, where do you save it? If you're like me, you don't want nsfw sites in your browsing history and especially not in your bookmarks. So I built http://xstashed.com/hn/ (clickable in comments) - a place to stash your nsfw links.<p>While it's a minimal viable product, I do have a basic roadmap that can be viewed here http://xstashed.com/todo/. I just wanted to get this in the hands of potential users to get feedback early on.<p>On the tech side of things I've built this thing nimble so that I can quickly shape the site from your feedback. For those who are interested in the technical site of xstashed, it's a custom Django (Python) application continuously deployed with Chef. MySQL for database, Celery for background task, and Redis for cache and Celery broker.

Email optional, nice detail.<p>Ugh, okay the problem using this isn't your fault - but (maybe unique problem as a woman?) finding <i>good</i> porn actually worth saving is a challenge. Would be awesome if you had a StumbleUpon type feature for discovering existing bookmarks in your system - at least for the user onboarding flow so I can test it out faster (to see if the viewer on mobile is good etc).<p>I like the design, pink was a surprise (my immediate thought before loading the page was that I would be harassing you for making too much of a "men only" looking site. It's pretty neutral. Women who watch porn is a fascinating niche btw, because for them it is aspirational and they often want to buy stuff to recreate it. You could create tasteful native ads in your content to make revenue. For guys it is (studies show) more transactional - just want to get off.<p>I can't do refer.xxx right now, just too far out of our focus are, but that might be a direction for you to go.

I'm surprised that bitcoin isn't used more often in this industry. If you think about it, the reluctance to pay for lots of these services would be that they show up in credit card statements... that your significant other/family members are likely to see. Once all of that is obscured or concealed in some manner, you see the door open to more impulse buying.

I like the minimalistic requirements.<p>- No JavaScript required!<p>- No eMail required!<p>- It even works in Lynx!<p>Well done. Keep it this way, and I might actually use it.<p>One wish on the list: Make it https ;-)

It looks as if your HN posting is an other bad case of HN censorship. 17 points in two hours, but it does not show up in News or ask. So someone with power banned it.

You say it is "private" but what happens if federal agents ask for information as part of, say, a child pornography case? (I don't know all of the laws around that subject, but I have to imagine you would face some liability)

Neat, this is pretty cool - essentially ring-fenced bookmarks.
