@brandon Some Natively links still don’t work.

Is there a UI for “Natively doesn’t have a series page for this book but Amazon does think it’s a series, please sync it” ? I couldn’t see one. Example, the “medium” manga, where Natively has only volume one: medium 霊媒探偵城塚翡翠 1 | L26 (at least I think Amazon thinks that’s a series).

there’s not yet, no. I’d just send in a feedback request for now, but that’s a good point… i could add that.
In any case, i’ve put that book in the queue to be synced… should be added in a half-hour.

Hi Brandon, is there a way to see stats for the different listening types? I believe the options are No Subs, TL Subs, and NL Subs and I’d be curious what my distribution of these are.

Adding to what @perrydimes, it seems like this information is not being dumped in the CSVs either or did I miss it ?

You know, these are very good suggestions. They are not in stats currently no. Mind submitting a product request?
Although i’m sure this would be popular thing for end-of-year stat tracking

And done, not sure if you prefer it in two different posts though.

I know this has been thrown around a while back @brandon but is adding VN/video games to Natively on the product roadmap any time soon enough for me to put off starting new games for a bit, or is that more of a maybe one day feature addition?
fwiw, I’d rather have French than games, but I’m also greedy and want both

Nooooo, don’t ask the forbidden question! As long as Brandon doesn’t answer it I can continue pretending that it will happen any day now

OK! I’ve added Spanish now as well. Today, my focus is on adding the Spanish & remaining German forums and making a formal blog announcement. Once I have Spanish, German & French added, i’ll probably wait a while for another language to be added. I want to prove that we can grow those languages first.
The good news is that the actual process of adding a language with amazon to the site is quite straightforward now.
I would go ahead and start your game. Best case scenario would be sometime in April, but there are quite a lot of priorities ahead of it. It’s more likely to be the second half of the year.
This is much more doable! All we need is 3 purchases from amazon.fr. See the book providers thread for more detail.

Oooh, when is French expected to be added?

Once we get the requisite 3 purchases and then approval from amazon.fr

Don’t forget to auto-mute the new categories for users who haven’t selected these languages. Right now I see Spanish in the regular list of categories.

Yep good callout. Working on that right now (and a better way of automating for future additions).

Just checking in for general consensus - right now, are we meant to not log books in our native language? I’m holding off on adding my German books for now. I get that the site itself is for learners, but it’d be nice to have somewhere I could log all of my reading.
Personally I think it’d be fine as long as I didn’t rate them, but I also don’t feel like going through the process of excluding every book from the ratings one by one.

That’s what I did. Tbf, I only logged books I gave 4 or 5 stars to, because I want learners to potentially stumble upon them. But I do not grade them. The system doesn’t ask me to unless I am on the German side of things. So, I don’t see an issue there.
(I do give them a star rating, though…)
Edit: OK, I did end up giving a couple of gradings because they were very obvious as to which one is more difficult. I.e. things I read as a child without issues vs. things I read as an adult with issues. 
but the majority got skipped.

I think its great to log your native books! Right now, we just need data for the new languages so it really helps… reviews, gradings, everything.
However, I’ve already started a code project to allow you to mark your native languages which I’ll release quite soon. At some point I may limit gradings from native users and restrict native user activities from being shown in the activity feed, but I think for now those are very limited concerns

Thanks for the feedback! I’ll get right onto that then.
