In an perfect world, we would organize all the lemons (quick, rough count is 1630) in a database, so a reader could just select the couple/fetish/author/character he likes and WHAM gets his selection.
In an perfect world, I would be paid to design and maintain such a system. Also, I would have no other duties, and nobody would rush me.
Now, my basic problem is that I'm not living in a perfect world.
I'm a student of a German university, I'm a lemon writer, and I have a life. I'm not being paid one EuroCent to help Togashi out (and Togashi isn't exactly making money with this site, neither). I'm just sacrificing what little time I have (actually I have none, but I do it anyway) to work on the site.
All the suggestions (sorting authors by X, sorting lemons by Y, adding these fetish tags, including that feature) usually require one of these things:
- A complete re-structuring of the entire site
- A VERY tricky scripting backbone
- ChibiRena reading and relabeling 1630 lemons without losing his mind
So... no. Suggestions noted, though. I've heard a lot of neat suggestions so far, and I keep them in mind.
The suggestion of a search engine is still high up on my list, and I might have found a nice way to solve it.
And I'm surprised... the new design should load a bit faster than the old one since the pages take up less space now...
