Update #3

I've been hard at work implementing authentication for Kenmei and I am finally happy to announce the first version is ready. You can now register on the website here, which will give you access to the Manga List page you all know and hopefully love. This basic, secure authentication is complete, but I have more to do on this front, specifically:

• Ability to edit your details after registration as well as being able to delete your account (hope you won't)

• Ability to reset your password

• Automatic confirmation flow, to make sure I don't have users register with non-existent emails. Currently, you will have to email me at [e-mail] to get yourself confirmed manually.

These are nice to have, but I wanted to release this as soon as possible, to help me iron out any bugs that might appear. You will also notice that I sneaked in ability to remove series, including bulk deletion. This will, of course, be followed by more extensive list editing.

I am currently concentrated on adding manga list persistence, so you could finally use Kenmei as intended. I will then follow by actually updating series as they come out. These are the two most important features, which I hope will take at max two more weekends.

Also as am I working on manga list persistence, I've already got a working multi-list functionality, so you'll be able to create custom lists, and as many as you want, not just Reading, On-hold and Plan to Read Trakr.moe had when I ship that update.

With this, I can now see official v1 release on the horizon. In the near future, I'll be working on these in no particular order:

1. Finishing authentication features I've mentioned above.

2. Resolving all the reported bugs. Please comment on this Github issue or reach out on Twitter if you encounter a problem not yet reported there.

3. Add the ability to import from MangaDex itself.

4. Updating landing page to look more presentable.

5. Manga list management (multiple lists, search).

There is plenty still to do until I can call it v1, but I'll keep you up to date as usual. I expect after new release indication update comes out, those of you who use MangaDex primarily will be able to start using this as your main tracker.
