Product Updates & Casual Natively Discussion

An update on search: Ok, libraries and video are completely done. Popular books are done, now filling out the rest of them… will take 2 hours more.

Had more issues with book search than anticipated… but we’re past those now :slight_smile:

Ooh exciting! I’m happy that you’ll be getting back to using your own site again soon :tada:

I’m not learning Korean, but I’m constantly thinking about learning at least a little since hangul is really easy to learn. And I swear grading on Natively is half of my motivation for reading in Japanese :joy: So when the Korean update is released publicly I’m totally expecting to get sidetracked and try a bunch of Korean graded readers lmao

Totally forgot to respond to this :person_facepalming: It took me a bit to find the product request, turns out I already voted for it and completely forgot about it! Glad I checked here first before posting a new request. Here it is for anyone else looking for it:

I’ve noticed here and there some weirdness happening displaying different numbers.
Not sure if it’s aggressive caching or data being wonky.

For example:

Page count missmatch.

Episode watched missmatch:

Does this warrant opening a request or does it have some sort of explanation or easy fix?

I would recommend a bug request yes. Thanks! :slight_smile:

I went ahead and opened one, but I feel like it might be related to another open one:

I could have voted twice for it, if you had done it :wink:

Part of the original rational behind adding the Book Club subforum was to help keep down the book club traffic, but I noticed it didn’t really seem to achieve that. Is there a way to be able to categorize threads as just Book Club and not Reading? Same for Product Requests, now that I think about it.

You can filter by those.

Ah, and then you can filter by “None” to see just Reading… :thinking: Dunno how I missed that!

Is there a CSV export function anywhere? I want to play with some chart creation stuff to see if there’s more useful charts (for me anyway) that could be generated with the data.

Not that I know of, though @brandon’s provided data himself before.

Unfortunately i haven’t built an export function yet, but it is in the plans (it’s your data). I’m happy to provide you with the data if you’d like, just shoot me an email :slight_smile:

If you want to drop a vote on the PR, it will also notify you when it’s completed.

Okay, someone tell me if I’m crazy: I’m not able to open up the update book pop-up, whether on the dashboard, library, or book page.

Just tested and it’s not working for me on PC, but it did work a couple of hours ago!

The last person on my update feed who updated their pages was about two hours ago, which tracks. Tagging @brandon, though he may be asleep by this point.

Work around for the moment:

Go to the book/movie and press +

Huh. I didn’t know that button did anything. It doesn’t on the dashboard, at least, and I think my brain just filtered it out on the book page…

Well, on the dashboard it tells you that you can use that button on the book/movie page.

The text needs to be updated though, as it only mentions reading right now.

That text never made any sense to me. :rofl: Why go to the book page, scroll past the obvious book updater button, all the way past gradings to the very bottom of the page to update your status? Comes in handy now, sure, but is that button normally useful? How many people know it exists? I think your screenshot of that popup is the first time I’ve even seen what it looks like since I joined.
