🖼️Series Cover Editing

While it doesn't currently affect most of you, one of the most time-consuming tasks for reviewing series suggestions, is finding high-quality covers, which are then cropped to match the aspect ratio used on Kenmei.

Up till now, cover manipulation had to be done separately, slowing down series suggestion review time. Being able to do it directly on Kenmei has been a feature I wanted to add for a long time, and with more and more suggestions being added, it became an important priority.

It is finally possible to do that and the same system will also be available for the soon-to-be-added ability to set your own profile picture, as I am starting to explore social features. Here's a preview:

📈Progress Overview

This has been a really quiet month as far as features go. I've had to shift priorities to improve various aspects of new members signing up for Kenmei as well as improving analytics to help me continue building better features.

The rest of the time went into working on features started in October -> mainly working on new Smart Suggestions types, as well as the new Report type, as mentioned in the last month's update.

Hence, the list of priorities didn't change much from the previous month:

  1. Deprecation Smart Suggestion & Offline Source Smart Suggestion

  2. Discovery and Advanced Search Improvements

  3. Comprehensive Data Cleanup

  4. Improved Series Details page
