The question was about comparisons, that is, those things:
@Athakaspen
I know that someone did some analysis of them a while ago, but had to input those things by hand.
Considering comparisons are the “added value” of the site, I don’t think there will ever be an easy way to publicly access them… I guess @brandon could give some access, though.
Ah, now that you point it out, that makes sense. I totally understand if Natively doesn’t want to give the data out openly.
I’ve thought for awhile that a system which balances new and old ratings evenly would be a nice change.
Of course the computational cost of echoing changes would be a concern, and there’s other considerations like the amount that a single user should be able to influence an item’s rating, but it sounds like a fun algorithm problem.
I hit the sync button for 東京バンドワゴン | L29 the other day, as there’s a new book in the series now, but the page says “Status: failed”. Do these go in a queue to be looked at, or does it need to be flagged up?
Is anyone watching this thread good at making lists? I want to add this book to a list, and it has the simplest title ever モモ, but it doesn’t get found so I can’t seem to add it, any ideas what I might try or is this a bug??
I’m wondering if it’s a bug, if I try to add かがみの孤城 the original one (previous link) or longer standing split version don’t come up, but only yet another version: かがみの孤城 上 | L30??
It seems the Search function in lists isn’t accessing the full catalog
Not sure if it’s a bug, but you can add a book to a list from the Natively book page (instead of a search):
I believe you can add to custom lists and add it to a new list or an existing one (I mostly just do the latter so not 100% sure on a new list from this flow).
That’s a great tip thank you so much 
Iirc, search sometimes has problems with katakana titles.
it’s been over 3 weeks since I requested 백야행 & 백야행 2 to be added 
and here’s another request: 이상한 집 2 - 예스24
Does anyone remember which thread it was where someone was asking about handmade vs. premade Anki decks, and which was better? I believe they were learning Korean, if it helps; I was thinking HopeWaterfall had made the thread, but I can’t find it anymore now. 
Probably this one?
Ah, thank you! No wonder I couldn’t find it, I forgot about the Japanese part entirely…
Putting this here because I don’t know if there’s a request for it already, but it’d be nice for there to be a prompt when you try to add progress to a book that has 0 pages. Currently you just get an “issues with our servers” message, I really thought Natively was down for a minute there, until I realized that nope, that book just didn’t have a page number, and a percentage of 0 doesn’t make sense, that’s what was bugging the system.
I’m pretty sure you can edit the page count. The change will only affect you, though.
While we’re taking about page count, does anyone know if there’s a request to allow a zero page book? I’ve been logging my audiobooks by percentage, but it’s inflating my page count. I have my own records so I don’t care that much, but I do like to have Natively as accurate as possible in case I miss logging something in my own data.
For sure! That’s not my problem though, the thing is, if you don’t notice that the book has 0 pages, you get stuck with an error message and no explanation as to what’s going on, just a plain "issues with our servers’. That could be switched to a “This book has 0 pages, update the total number of pages and try again” message instead, or something along this line
Can’t you just edit it & set current & total pages to 1? (Assuming 0 is not allowed)
I’ve added plenty of things with 0 pgs (コミック百合姫 don’t usually have pages specific for example), tho I haven’t tracked them by percent
You can’t set it at zero. You can set it to 1, which I did for a while, but then I got lazy since it was still going to be off in my notes. 
Is @brandon okay…? Outside of a couple of automated emails about book requests/fixes, it’s been radio silence for over a month, and before that he was giving weekly updates…
That happened before, when he left due to burnout.
I’m assuming that the comeback went too hard too fast and he relapsed.
I really don’t know what is the best way to approach this situation, but honestly I don’t see what we can do except keep the community going and wait for him to get better.
Natively is an amazing service (and free too!) and the community is great. As far as I am concerned, he can take as long as it needs, and then some more.
I feel like he said something about visa something around the last time he made a post so I’m really hoping that’s not it…
