Update #5

It feels like it's been over a month since the last email, but surprisingly it was less than 2 weeks. Since then, I've been doing intricate data work and back-end setup, coding all day and into the night, so I was quite anxious to share the news.

I am happy to say that there is now full-on MangaDex latest chapters fetching functionally. So all the series have been updated with the latest data, and new information will be fetched hourly. I am happy to say, that I will be able to decrease it significantly, potentially doing it every 10 minutes. No need to wait hours like it was with Trackr.moe and having series updated only twice a day!

More importantly, I've spent this time setting up good foundations to build upon. With some extra work, I'll be able to add new sources quite easily, so I expect to grow our sources quite quickly after the v1 ships.

Currently, you'll have to sort by Released column, as I am not indicating unread series. Hence, this weekend, I'll be moving onto adding the ability to actually mark your currently read chapters, at which point I'll be able to show all the series, where your latest read chapter doesn't match the last released chapter. I might also be able to also release MangaDex import, as it's finished and was just waiting for me to release the fetching functionality.

I am really happy how it's all turning out and super excited to start using it daily myself, and I hope so will everyone else here. Pieces are finally falling in place and v1 doesn't feel too far off.

I wanted to wait till the end of the weekend to send out the news but just couldn't wait. So expect another email on Sunday, if I manage to finish most of what I am planning to do.

As usual, here is the updated list from the last email, and I'll speak to you soon!

1. Add tracking of currently read chapters and pull the latest chapter periodically (At this point, you should be able to use the website as intended)

2. ​Finishing authentication features (automatic confirmation, reset password)

3. Resolving all the reported bugs

4. Add the ability to import from MangaDex itself.

5. Updating landing page to look more presentable.

6. Search and filters
