[UserScript] Natively Recap

I’ve published v1.0.7 with two new features:

  • Images and titles now link to the item’s natively pages
  • There’s an option to turn on display of level info in the settings (disabled by default) as requested by @HopeWaterfall .

I’ll be heading off to visit family tomorrow for a few days, so this is probably the last update this side of the holidays

Man, this is so slick @araigoshi! Thank you for such a cool tool! It’s still going to take me a bit to post my recap (I always seem to get pulled into something), but I’m determined! :muscle: I especially love the color customization. Anyone know how to take a “long” screenshot on Ubuntu? Like, I need to scroll to see all my books, which I don’t think I can do with my normal screenshotting process. :thinking:

If you use Firefox, the browser’s inbuilt screenshot tool can do it (right click on a page and “take screenshot”). You can use the “screenshot whole page” or you can draw a rectangle while scrolling. If you do this, I suggest using the “hide Natively UI” button, or you might get the Natively header halfway down the page depending on how far your scroll.

I’m sure there are extensions for Chrome to do similar, but a quick look indicates it doesn’t seem to be built in and I personally use Firefox so can’t recommend a Chrome extension.

Oooh, perfect! Thank you!

There it is!

I did end up doing this, so that novel type children’s books and longer form graded readers show up as novels, in dark blue.

I made a post asking for a Natively Wrapped feature this time last year! Thank you!!

I just wish I’d seen this before I copied the covers one by one into google slides :sob:


I have three novels I’m in the middle of, so if it’s possible to add books you started in 2024 but didn’t finish with a little “54%” or “150/300 pages” or something that’d be a nice feature too.

I’m aiming for an end of the year reading rush so I can finish my bingo and get some of those novels in my 2024 books :joy:. That would be a nice feature though

It would be possible to add an option to display your in progress items, but getting detailed progress information would be challenging as it’s not returned in the list API, and the way it’s done in the home page is not ideal for re-use in a userscript.

I think I’d have to have the userscript redirect you to the the dashboard then load the recap because the data for the inprogress items is provided by JSON assigned to a global via a script tag embedded in the HTML generated by the server, rather than via an API. The alternative would be an API query per item in progress, and I don’t really want to be responsible for unleashing that on the Natively servers for some of the users with larger libraries.

Nice iniciative! With this view it’s pretty amazing to see how much one can read in a year :smile:

I also tried creating a recap of all I’ve read since I started learning japanese and it’s around 20Mb :sweat_smile: It’s cool to see how the colors change with the time, since I started reading manga and I’ve been reading light novels recently.

With a handful of exceptions, every cover has a girl in the center. :smile:

This tool is fantastic! I knew that I read a lot this year, but it didn’t really hit me until I saw it all lined up. Also, it’s neat to see my sharp turn in late June/early July from binging a single series at a time to reading a lot of different series at once.

No worries!! I had a feeling it’d be difficult. Taking a screenshot of the “I’m Reading” section on the homepage and copying it onto the recap image should work pretty well I’d think.

This was also my plan! …And then instead I decided to pick up another book :person_facepalming: Oh well, the more the merrier for 2025. Gonna put my current audiobook on the highest speed I can handle to at least finish that this year lol.

If that makes you feel better, I ended up doing the same thing :sweat_smile:. Decided to pick up an audiobook to listen to while traveling and didn’t measure that it was way too long for me to listen just while in the car, since I need to take breaks as well, so I still have three hours left. Plus a manga series that I randomly decided to continue this week, after months of only having read the first volume. At least I’m close to the end now, only 35 chapters left :eyes:

Here we are! Finally!! Thank you once again to @araigoshi for creating this awesome tool!

Lots and lots of manga for me in 2024! I’m hoping to have a few more representatives in the LN/novel categories in 2025. :blush:

Also finally had time to try this.

… Now I see why people were going for more items per line. It’s completely unreadable on Discourse.

I love this so much.

Exactly 100 in this image.

Yeah, if you have a big image on discourse, the thumbnailer is going to make it very hard to read anyway unless you click into the “original image” link on the preview popup.
