Welcome to 2.0!
April 30, 2023
A fresh start
You may have noticed that we've changed the furniture and the wallpapers around here...
Murrtube just got a massive make-over for a bunch of reasons that are
explained here, with stuff gone, stuff introduced... And all that with one
goal in mind:
To make your lil' Murrtube sessions a smoother and better experience
:3
We are looking into doing another one to go more into the tech details of
what happened here too!
But for now, our beloved tail-waggers, we present to you :
Murrtube 2.0
New Logo!
This little fox ball of mischief will be the new visual identity for Murrtube. His name is Mochi!
We definitely like this cute fluffy thing a lot more than our old generic wolf silouhette thing :3
Mochi is your spiritual leader now. You will worship this good boy.
Goodbye superfluous features!
Exit dark/light theme
It's just gonna stay dark. AD literally has 'dark' in it. Nah but also I'm not good at designing stuff and this was an easy shortcut. Also goes with 'simplification of everything simplifiable' effort.
No more profile banners
Uncluttering! We know, banners were great to plaster naked bodies on your profile, but we thought it'd be better to give more space to videos. That's where the actual juicy stuff is.
Likes/Followers listings begone
It was a customizable setting before, now the default is: not your profile? can't see the list of followers or liked videos. Not your video? You can't see who liked it. Just the numbers. Some discretion is nice in porn!
Bbye comment replies
Same thing, simplify stuff, unclutter interface, etc, etc… Comments themselves are not used a lot but we still think they're important, but replies is a little overdoing it.
In app chat messaging is gone
We realized that it really isn't used much, and users would usually go straight to user's twitter page (listed on their profile) to DM them.
Enter: The new stuff!
Global search, super buffed
The global search used to do its own thing sometimes and it was never 100% clear what that thing was. So it's been reworked a bit, just to make it more efficient and reliable.
Tags can make sense, if we code 'em right
Tags up until now were a MESS. For real. The tagging system has been revamped so that matching can work reliably, and to avoid typos and stuff like that.
Hey Twitter, check out our video quality
Until a few months ago, your videos were reprocessed to a pretty disappointing quality, because it saved time and bandwidth and money. We then upped it a bit so it'd be at least better than Twitter. But you know what, we like to see all the pixels clearly when we're watching a shiny latex pup annihilate a fursuit, so we've boosted up the size and bitrate of our encoder even MORE.
Bad people shoooo
The report and banning systems until now worked, but like, at their bare minimum: You report someone, you never get the update that the action has been taken. We changed that. It's nice to know you've been helpful. Also bans have been revamped to be less 'whatever' or 'banned for 500 years'. Hopefully you'll never have to find out!
Impatient uploaders, we got you
You filmed and edited all this porn, and now it's uploaded. And now, the wait begins. When the hell will this lazy cat review my video? Hey, what about subscribing to live updates on Telegram? Our bot will ping you through the lifecycle of your video! Pretty sweet right? Poke our bot, he'll let you in on the trick.
Ad space
WAIT WAIT WAIT. Hear me out, I know, nobody likes ads. But Murrtube is a needy boy and it needs its lunch money. So, ad space has been added, in the least intrusive way possible. It won't be all over the place. On top of that, ad campaigns will be very carefully selected. Only stuff that a mob of horny degenerates would be interested in.
Europe rules
We made triple sure that we're on par with everything required by European regulations regarding data privacy and protection. We are hosted in France after all, so y’all get to enjoy some of that fancy European ‘People’s privacy matters’ sauce. Hey now! don't worry all your stuff was safe and GDPR compliant before! We've just added reliable procedures to comply with rules that usually should only apply to big corporations.
This whole separate website
This secondary website was added to keep the main app as lean as possible. But of course we still needed a place for the legal stuff, and for you to reach out for comments or help! So we added this About site, and this news blog as well!
"But why?", said Ryan Reynolds
Cuz.
Murrtube is 4 and a half years old. Technology moves at a pace. Murrtube didn't. To a point that, well… I didn't wanna touch Murrtube's codebase even with a 1 mile pole. Which means barely any maintenance, any fixes, any improvements. It's nice to start fresh on something that doesn't make me irate when I look at it.
Some of the stuff listed before are features and improvements I've wanted to do for a while, now here they are :3
And fun.
Besides, it's hella fun to run a porn website, and to make it as close as possible to what you AD folks could want! Doing this just brings back the fun for me, and hopefully for all of you too!
Yes we cum
All in all, I really hope that this new Murrtube will be good enough for all
of you :3
I plan to dedicate more time to it, and your continued support for all these
years is my main fuel, so together let's keep making Murrtube a great space
for our kinksters and kinkster-afficionados
FEED ME PORN. THAT'S WHAT I MEAN. SLOPPY RAW GOOEY PORN. JUST. FEED.
I want murrsuits, partials, pups, latex, neoprene, leather, petsuits, all
kinds of tools, whatever, good ol' kinky stuff.
And I will see you at our next update, or at our next stats compilation :3 Love y'all!
