Spandex Party Roadmap Q4

Suggestions and site feedback

Hey dear Spandex Enthusiasts I'd like to lay out the roadmap where Spandex Party is going for the next 1-3 months. First of all, I'm very happy to see such a great and supportive community! The transition phase went smoothly and the future for Spandex Party has been stabilised. I'm hard at work getting Spandex Party to the deserved next level. Every user is different and uses the site differently. That's why I want to focus on these 3 things:
  • easier to find, chat and meet up with like minded guys near you or where you go on holidays
  • easier to explore gear and find new gear you didn't know about existed
  • easier to find hot spandex content
The current spandexparty.com site and its architecture is quite old in a technical sense: Expensive servers and services and slower to develop for compared to newer standards. That is why I started beta.spandexparty.com. There you can already see the progress made of rebuilding Spandex Party, which will become the new home for us and for upcoming features like the cam chat. Premium Memberships will come back. They will offer quality of life improvements but they won't be a necessity. They also make sure that Spandex Party can prosper and more and more spandex enthusiasts can find their way here. Parallel to Premium Memberships there will be a loyalty status with different levels: Bronze, Silver and Gold. Each level unlocks more benefits. Users will receive these statuses automatically the longer they have been active on Spandex Party. Now let me get back the focus areas I mentioned in the beginning and some features that I plan on adding in the next 1-3 months:
  • Updated Newsfeed: with notifications about your profile and content you're interested in (✅ already live here: https://beta.spandexparty.com/feed)
  • Marketplace: easily search or put up gear you don't need anymore with the community
  • Spandex porn: Have you searched all porn sites for spandex, lycra or bulge porn? How cool would it be, if a crawler automatically searches all porn sites and lists them on our site? That is exactly what this part covers.
  • "What brand is the gear in your picture?": ability to describe gear with the brand, so others can explore and buy the same gear and get excited wearing them.
And here are some features I plan to have after the 3+ months:
  • Mobile App with messaging, pic exchanging
I'm very interested to hear your feedback on this Roadmap, don't hold back! Cheers!

Sounds all great! The new website looks fantastic. I'm excited to see it going live soon. There is only one thing that I'd like mention: exchanging "live" pics here in the chat is difficult, and it makes many of us switch to instagram for a live-chat. If the spandexparty chat could include a tool that allows exchanging pics directly (without pre-upload, without keeping them on the site), that would be a great improvement, I think (with a "disappearing photo/video" option: even better:-) Anyway: thank you very much for your hard work!

I'm very excited about these new developments! Definitely I will continue to use spandex party as a paying member (wondering which level...) Especially lifechat is something we all are very much waiting for to use and have fun! Thanks a lot guys, you are doing a great job!

All great quality of life improvements. Thanks. I especially like the idea of being able to describe the gear/brand since I'm often wondering the same when I see something I like.

All sounds great. With the buying/selling of gear, trying to keep use ties anon would be a huge plus. Happy to work on this, was thinking an eBay like experience but once the items are sold, shipping and payments are through a secure intermediary.

A suggestion for the chat box: Its great that you can change your text colour! that is awesome, but would it also be possible to change the bubble around the text?

Sounds great! Another suggestion, perhaps a way to indicate on the homepage that there are people active in the cam room and even better, who they are.

Agree with that and a way to be notified that people that I’ve picked as ‘favorites’, when they’re online would be nice. Also a page that shows user stats - how many pics, how many posts and in which forums, how long spent online…just some fun stats.

Love it! Also maybe a way for people to indicate when they plan to be in the cam room or online and a centralized location for that schedule.

Hi, the site looks absolutely wonderfull, but I have one suggestion: Dark mode, reading stories without darkmode is really hard, please add that ! :)
