#What is this?! Kinklist creator is a small utility that helps you create (what people are calling) a 'kinklist'. A kinklist is an image-summary of the kinks you do and do not enjoy. Here's an example of what such a list might look like: https://i.imgur.com/RX6OjxW.png.

Traditionally how people created these lists was: they'd download an empty image; open it in ms-paint; manually color all the circles; upload it to imgur. This utility simplifies that process. For each kink you simply click the appropriate color, then you click "Export" and an image is generated and uploaded to imgur.

###Why should I use this? A kinklist is a relatively easy way to let people know what you enjoy and what you do not enjoy. You can create it once and use it a hundred times.

That doesn't mean you should always use it of course. Some people have told me they preferred not to give everything away; others were worried that an image like this would stop people from actually discussing their likes and dislikes (and realistically, this image does not actually convey a thousand words ;)). So, perhaps it's not for everyone.

However if you think a list like this one would be nice, then this utility is probably the fastest and easiest way to create one.

###How do I use this? The basic functionality is extremely simple:

  • Look at the legend at the top to see what each color means
  • For each kink on the list below, click the appropriate color
  • Click the "Export" button and wait a moment

Diving a little deeper...
As you can see, some of the kinks allow you to enter two preferences. This is because sometimes there is more than once perspective in many things. Some people would enjoy being dominated, but would not be comfortable dominating someone else. To create this distinction, some of the categories will allow you to pick how much you enjoy the kink from the different roles. These roles are indicated at the top of the category.

Other features:
You might have noticed two other buttons. There is the "List" button in the top right corner, and the "Cog" icon in the top left.

List button
In previous versions, some people mentioned that the colors were very close to each other and sometimes it was hard to click the correct one. The List button is meant to solve this. When you click it, you should get a popup window that lets you fill out each kink separately with larger buttons. In addition, you can use the number buttons on your keyboard (buttons 0 through 5) to make your selection; and you can use the arrow buttons (up and down) to go back and forth through the list.

Cog button
But perhaps you think something is missing; this one kink that you find quite important. By clicking the 'Cog' icon, you can customize the kinks that are shown below. Take a moment to understand the formatting, then once you think you understand it well enough; you can add and remove anything you like.

###Feedback Feedback is always welcome. The best place to post feedback is in this thread (ideally as a direct reply to this post), but private messages are also welcome.

Mind you, not all feedback can be accommodated. We can't add all kinks in the world, because the list takes quite long to fill out as it is. Suggestions are welcome and will be always considered; but please keep in mind that not everyone finds the same things important.

Also; I realize that the colors are not as intuitive as they could be. That is not because I am super dumb; it is because the colors that were chosen were picked to also accommodate colorblind users. We can not just go straight from neon-green to fire-red because quite a lot of people would then be unable to tell the difference between your favorite things and your hard-limits. However feedback on the colors, and suggestions especially; is/are still very much welcome.

Footnotes
I make little widgets, tools and other things on a semi-regular basis; and I would actually love to have someone; or some people that could help me. I mostly work in javascript, so someone familiar with javascript would be great. However graphics artists and user interface designers are also extremely welcome. If you think that maybe you could help, please get in touch!

Also, ideas for things that you think might be useful are also welcome. I made Reddit Inbox Revamp based one a suggestion also.
