Good luck!

Hey, not sure what you're getting at. I've been a professional software engineer for almost 20 years now and have built a bunch of things (Tinder and Porndora just happen to be 2 of many).

If you have a specific idea for an app, I'm happy to give my 2 cents ;)

We have a modern tech stack, full-stack Typescript with a GraphQL API. We run node on the BE and React on the FE.

It's actually easier to get a programming job in the adult industry I think as there are so many people who refuse to work in this industry because of moral or societal biases.

My advice is the same for anybody looking to become a developer:

1. Learn how to code. I recommend javascript as it's the most ubiquitous language and you can most easily work full-stack if you know javascript.

2. Practice. Do exercises on Leetcode or Hackerrank. Build your own things. Get good enough where you don't need to google in order to code simple tasks.

3. Pick a focus (e.g. web or mobile or backend). It's really hard to be a decent full-stack developer. Pick an area that you enjoy and get really good at it. You'll be much more hirable.

4. Interview, a lot. You'll probably need to interview at 10-20 companies before you can do well enough at the interview to get hired. This means you probably need to apply to 50 to 100 jobs just to past the recruiters and get enough interviews. At this stage in your career, it's a numbers game. Improve your odds by being a great communicator and a great problem solver.

5. Use Porndora, a lot. :) Lmk what you think of the site. As soon as you're ready, I'm happy to interview you for a role at Porndora. We're always looking for talented people who want to change the adult industry for the better.

Thank you!

I don't understand your recommendation here. Don't all websites that do anything meaningful heavily depend on javascript? Most new companies are built by a few devs using many js libs to enable them to move fast. We are able to implement a new feature every couple weeks with only one dedicated FE dev. Every other startup I've worked at uses a similar setup with either React or Vue, and 1 or 2 FE devs, and can implement a new feature at least once a month.

Yes! We're actually one of the few sites that differentiates between porn for straight women and straight men. We also put lesbian porn on the same level. Our mission is to make porn accessible and enjoyable for everyone regardless of gender, sexual orientation, or kink!

We also have a special 'Porn for Women' category which features more sensual, safe, and female friendly content:

Check it out!

Yes, we're using AI in the recommendation engine, but we don't yet have enough data to reach our end goal of a convolutional neural network. That's why we need more users!

We're also working on some other really cool products that utilize AI and machine learning:

1. PHAR (Porn Human Action Recognition): We're building an API that you can send a video, and we will use computer vision and combination of machine learning models to accurately tag the sex acts that are occurring in the video.
2. Facial anonymization: We're building a filter that we can apply to videos to anonymize adult creators who need privacy for their work.
3. Minor detection: We're building a ML model that can detect minors in video.
4. NSFW detection: We're building a model that can detect NSFW content in general
5. Hand-free mode: We're building in voice detection so you can control the site with just your voice.

I'm a developer by trade myself and we have a team of 2 devs and a data scientist right now continuing to work on it. It's built in React so yes it uses a lot of javascript.

Thanks for the bug report. I just tested in Firefox 106.0.5 with no ad blocker and it worked fine, must be something to do with your ad blocker. Which ad blocker are you using?

PornDJ is an immersive adult experience. Let me know what you think.

Some other sites do make recommendations, but nobody uses a recommendation engine at the heart of their product. Our entire experience is built around personalization. As a logged in user, every video you see on the site is recommended and scored by our recommendation engine. We used advanced AI and machine learning techniques to give you the best recommendations.

NFTs have as much value as other people place on them, just like all of crypto, or even fiat currency for that matter. As an owner of an NFT, you get to own a piece of your favorite performer(s) and know that you're helping support them. In the future, that ownership could grant you exclusive content from that performer and soon it will give a premium porndora membership (i.e. anyone who owns a premium porndora NFT will get premium porndora membership for as long as they own it. If they sell it, the new owner will get that premium membership)

lol pornkemon. Why should a pokemon have more value than a pornkemon? They are both just digital collectibles and ascribe as much value as the next buyer is willing to pay for them.

What's great about adult creators and performers being able to mint their own NFTs is it's a direct path to monetizing their content. It's also a way to support your favorite artists and creators that ensures your money goes directly to them.

And yes, just like any NFTs, there is a legal responsibility on the minter to only mint and sell content you have the rights to. Afaik this is not the responsibility of the marketplace.

Similarly, I could be wrong, but I don't believe it's the responsibility of the marketplace to prevent people from buying NFT porn because they live in one place or the other. For example, OpenSea does have some adult content, but I don't believe they restrict in any way who can buy it.

A lot of people actually like to watch the same videos over and over again, especially if they have niche tastes, but it’s more about supporting your favorite creators at this point.

We’re on the Polygon blockchain so yes you can sell as you please.

There's a big problem in the industry of adult creators and artists not getting paid fairly for their work. Often times, they get paid for a day's work and never see any royalties from their work like performers in traditional film or music industries. OF has done a lot to help freelance adult creators make money, but we can do even more.

Our NFT marketplace gives adult creators a place where they can claim their profile, mint NFTs from their work, sell them, AND earn ongoing royalties from every subsequent sale.

For the consumer, it gives you the chance to support your favorite artists AND own a piece of their work!

This one I focused more on my journey as CEO / founder and where I came from. The other one is here if you're curious:

Early in my career, I was actually an engineer at Tinder, and I remember thinking why can't we apply this type of technology to porn, it would be so fun. You could just swipe left or right on porn that you like and the system would get better and better at learning what you like, and wouldn't be it be funny if it was called Porndora since Pandora is already so good at this with music.

Ofc, we're trying to create the most beautiful and intuitive porn site in the world. We must talk about it! :)

I thought maybe it had to, since we're a porn site. The moderators of this sub took down my post unfortunately, hoping to get it back up. I just removed the NSFW tag.

We don't specifically classify amateur into highly produced vs not highly produced, but let's start! Our site supports community tagging, and you can create your own tags. So if you start tagging the amateur content you like with something like 'Cheap Amateur', and that tag becomes popular, the system will naturally start recommending more of that type of amateur to you.

Also, early next year, we'll start building a collaborative filtering deep learning recommendation engine that will take into account these implicit preferences as well. We just need more data to do this type of machine learning well.
