Product Updates & Casual Natively Discussion

Seconding! And don’t feel like you have to stick to unreviewed books, either. More reviews is a good thing across the board.

I pasted the link into a new tab and it brought me to the page just fine

For what it’s worth, I find it super helpful when books have multiple reviews and the reviews are different styles. I was a little intimidated to start writing book reviews at first, but I got lots of good tips and inspiration in this thread if you want to take a look!

Looks like the difficulty levels aren’t shown in order. This appears to have happened for both videos and books.

Well a proper desync implementation would be to be able to choose what it gets desynced.

For example, if you just want to desync the episode airing time, or just the description and so on. So I can see why it would be annoying and hard to implement.

should be fixed.

I think there may a bug logged for this … that’s a big enough issue i should look into it

Yeah the proper image is populated later. your old activity images will eventually update… but it may be like 6 months :joy:

It’s worth noting that if you flip from percentage to book pages (or vice versa?) after any update, not just a finished, it also auto-converts the raw number instead of figuring it out by dividing, say, [pageNumber]/[totalPageNumber] = [percentage] or whatever. Probably a rarer case.

Right. Yeah the thinking there is that you would ever only switch once and, in general, you’d have input the number you could’ve input (you usually don’t know the page if you only know percent)… so it actually makes sense to keep that I think. It’s also what other sites do in my experience? At least I know storygraph does it that way.

Makes sense, pretty minor issue. Thanks for the Finished fix though.

I’ve been thinking again about stats… I don’t find the stats page particularly useful right now but I’m not sure what stats I actually want, so need to sit down and consider before lodging a request. I think you mentioned working on an export stats button, is that still in the far-flung future?

There’s this request - Allow CSV data dump.

I’m not sure when I’ll do it. It’s pretty easy, just not prioritized. If people upvote and push for it, happy to do it.

I just opened it fine in Chrome: https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/product/4088700686/

I can’t set a blank start date from the data manager page. Clicking the pencil icon causes the entire page to “crash” (popup closes and all content on the page disappears). The basic info version works.

Did just run into a (probably) more common variant of this on another of the shows I was watching which is related to time zones. (Still not that big of a deal, but more common so I thought I’d point it out).

TMDB records its air date with respect to the time zone it aired in which means you frequently have to wait until the next day to record watching something if you don’t live in Asia. Anime air times aggravate this since they frequently air just after midnight (Japan time)

This should be fixed!

Mind logging a bug? Would be lovely :slight_smile:

Ah interesting. I think the more immediate fix would just to allow you to mark shows watched one day in the future? The only issue would be that ongoing shows would show as ‘incomplete’ one day before then too… i.e. if only 9 episodes have aired, then the day before the 10th episode, you’d see that you’ve watched 9/10 in your dashboard.

The more complete timezone handling maybe could be an addendum to the timezone ticket we already have.

Either way - if you wouldn’t mind making a product request for the smaller iteration and / or a note on the timezone request, would be greatly appreciated!

Is something going on with the forums?

When reading threads, everything suddenly disappears and gets replaced by a spinning circle.

oh no. I don’t see any issues on the server. Could it be your internet connection flaking?

It’s only happening here…

:confused: well i’m not sure. It’s not happening to me and I don’t think it’s a server issue.

Mind changing browsers? Checking out your dev console? Your browser specs?

I’ll clear the cache and see if that does something.

It’s Firefox last version. Hadn’t any issues until now, and it’s working fine in other discourse instances.

@brandon On Patreon, can you create an official tier for what will eventually become the premium account donation tier? Or do you not want to do that until you’re ready for premium? I’m just asking because I was thinking about donating and thought it might be convenient to set it up in a future-proof way instead of having to change it down the line when the premium feature was officially added.

(I guess from your timeline in the other topic in might only be a few months away anyway, but figured I’d ask.)
