New mobile-app chastity game

I just wanted to given an update about a post I made to the following thread a few weeks ago. Somebody had asked for a site that allowed Doms to assign tasks and reward points to manipulate release dates:

Website for tracking chastity locked time​

I couldn't really find anything like it, and wanted a pet project so I decided to build it myself. I'm a developer, so I took OP's idea and moulded it into an idea that could be hacked out in a few days. My interpretation of his "game" is given later in the same thread:

Website for tracking chastity locked time​

At this point I'm *almost* at a usable game to give to my Keyholder. The site allows pairs of Doms & Subs to register and link their accounts, then the Dom can assign tasks which rewards points. The Sub may redeem points for time off their lock-up sentence. My keyholder usually keeps me locked up for a week at a time, and gives me the opportunity to release on weekends. So her scenario would be to set the initial sentence to something longer than a week, like 14 days, then I have to work if I want out earlier.

My Keyholder and I will test out our "game" for a few weeks, and once the kinks (no pun intended) are worked out, I'll post a live beta version for everybody to use.

I've temporarily chosen the name LockSly (pronounced: locks-lee). Below are some teaser images...


What the sub sees when they login. Below the Points will be the Redeem button once you have enough points.




The Sub can see their current mission list:




The Dom can change the release date, and even arbitrarily give or remove points:




The Dom can create missions and weight their value with Points:




The Dom can change how many points are required for 1 day off the release time:





Both Dom and Sub can view the recent history including changes to missions, release date, points, etc...




I'll post an update once we have had a chance to test and expand the functionality.

 

One thing I should clarify that may be misleading from the title. This isn't a native phone "App", but a webpage that is designed to work on mobile devices. If LockSly gains serious traction I may release it as an app, but that would be in the very distant future.

Also, I apologize for the terrible styling, I know it looks a little dull. My work focuses primarily on functionality and usability, but I'm a horrible designer. I usually work with somebody else who makes my stuff "pretty", but I'm flying solo for this project

 

Not yet. I'm about 90% of the way to something usable (there is no way to redeem points yet), so I should get it "finished" this week.

I'll have my Keyholder test it with me for a while before I release it. I'm sure there are some bugs or improvements we can make.

 

The app is built on MeteorJS, which makes it extremely fast and responsive. If you aren't familiar, it's a data-driven framework, so each client's view is tied to the source data. A data change made by one client will instantly push the changes to any other clients using the that data. It's great for apps like chat systems where changes need to be replicated immediately. Meteor has a built-in MongDB database for data storage. If you have access to a Linux or Mac machine, you can do the MeteorJS tutorial in about an hour. It's brilliantly simple yet shows how powerful the platform can be. I loved it and wanted to give it a try.

As for the interface, I originally tried to build the UI with jQuery Mobile because I really liked their styling and the Theme Roller makes updating the look a breeze. However Meteor uses Handlebars as the template engine, which is basically incompatible with jQuery Mobile. Both frameworks make changes to the DOM and they just clobber eachother. So I rolled my own styling based on jQuery Mobile.

Finally I use jQuery for things like form validation, animations, etc.

 

So today I managed to get a few more features finished. I'm almost ready to begin testing with my keyholder. If all goes well in a few weeks I'll launch this for public beta.

New features include the ability for the Keyholder to accept OR reject a mission. A rejected mission deducts the points from your tally, setting you back. So keep her happy.

Subs can now also redeem their points to reduce their lock-up sentence.

My last step before it's ready to test is to add the e-mail alerts.

I'll post more pictures once we've begun testing, and work out a plan for how to launch this for everybody else to try.

 

Thank you! So I actually began testing yesterday with my Keyholder/wife. It didn't take her long to think of a long list of Missions, and she set the release date to 10 days. Normally she lets me out for orgasm every Saturday, so 10 days from Tuesday is almost double my normal lock-up time. Knowing I have a longer sentence is good encouragement to start completing some missions!

I did manage to complete two missions. The first one was to collect and bring out all the trash, it was only worth 20 points. The second was that she would jerk me off (without cumming of course), and I had to get 100 strokes within 5 minutes. I would tell her when I'm about to cum, and when to continue. I've been so horny recently I honestly didn't think I could do it. If I completed the mission I got 25 points, and if I failed I would be deducted 25 points. So it's a gamble for me whether I choose to accept these types of missions.

I accepted the mission and she only got 6 strokes in before I had to get her to stop. I only got 10 strokes in the first minute. Luckily for me I did manage to get to 100 in about 4 minutes. She locked me back up and I got my 25 points She said next time the stroke count would be higher.

On her recommendation I've made some changes to the Missions. Subs can now indicate a Mission is complete and that they would like the Keyholder to accept it.

I've also done a bunch of updates to the style & layout to work better on smaller screens like the iPhone 4s.

We will continue testing and I'll post more screenshots later this week. Cheers!

 

Great, thanks for the offer! The app is now basically working. My wife is assigning missions and I'm slowly working down my release date (it's still longer than I'm used to!). However I now need to add some of the ancillary features:

- Users need to be able to verify & change their e-mail, and update their password
- Users need a way to configure which alerts they receive (Missions, Points, date change, etc...)
- My Keyholder suggested a quick tutorial or at least help/intro when you first login to explain how the game works
- Finally, on Release Day I need some type of special display, with a prompt for the Dom to set the next release day to reset the game.

I don't expect any of this to take much time, except for the e-mail alerts. I want to make sure I don't spam anybody so I'll need a way to send daily reports that include all the alerts users signed up for.

 

As promissed, here are the latest changes to the app.

The overall style was updated with more colours. The static navbar at the bottom was changed to fit better on smaller screens (like the iPhone 4s).


The Home view for Keyholders:




The Home view for Subs:




Subs can now mark their Missions as Complete. Click the menu icon then click Mission Complete to notify your Keyholder!




Keyholders can see finished missions (marked with Orange), and Accept or Fail missions. Accept will end the mission and assign the points. Fail will close the mission and *deduct* the points. The Keyholder can also accept the mission and "Renew", which puts the mission back in the todo list.





Finally the History was cleaned up a bit with more colours.




That's probably the end of my teasers until I launch the beta

 

I just wanted to post a quick update to those following this thread. My Keyholder and I had our first successful test run of the app, and I my my unlocking on Wednesday. We've now started round two.

Overall I'm pretty pleased with the app's functionality. All of the core features are done, and I've even added a few more small surprises

Before I can launch I need to finish some of the supplementary features. So things like Help, the ability to verify e-mail, change passwords, change e-mail, receive e-mail alerts, etc... I figure it should be out after a few more good days of work.
