Well, back in my days, we used to find the sauce ourselves.

Sauce: Kakawatte wa Ikenai Type no Musume ga Kanojo ni Natta (manga)

I think the gf needs to be changed at this point.

I guess you could buy merch if you want to support them?

Why use that site for tracking anime? MAL, AniList, Kitsune, aniDB, etc. exist, y’know.

And maybe it’s time for you to also sail the high seas.

Good to know some people still know katawa shoujo

I still think Briar and SimpleX are the best ones for both privacy and anonymity.

It’s called Toradora!

Sauce: Toradora!

“Rule 34: If it exists there’s porn of it.”

:D

Cool, you should now get a bunch of recs. Try it again.

Sorry, can you tell me your MAL username?

Well, that’s unfortunate. You seem to be unique, so no recommendation can be given. I’ll retrain the system today and see what happens. Sorry for the inconvenience. It might take a while.

Yeah, I’ve set a minimum limit for animelists. Your animelist appears to be smaller than 50 so it won’t be processed. This is not because it can’t, but because I manually set it so that anime newbies don’t get bad quality recommendations. It has something to do with how the algorithm works.

1. I’ll see what I can do.
2. I actually already have an anime recommendation system, but it’s for MAL. And it only works if you already have a bunch of different animelists. I might have to make another one, or have the recommendations be user-submitted like in MAL.

I like that weird smirk. It’s charming in a weird way.

1. I see. That probably could be a solution. Thanks, that gave me an alternative way of doing things. I’ll consider this while making this project and see how I can do it.
2. Yeah, that definitely will be a feature. No worries!

As for point 3 and 4, they most likely will be implemented as well.

Honestly, your repo idea could even make this project not only an anime tracker but basically a tracker for every audiovisual content without much effort.

Unfortunately, this tracker will need to rely on centralized databases such as MAL, anidb and anilist as I can’t really seem to find an easy way to curate new animes without them.

1. I am not very sure about this point honestly, as previously discussed in this thread, having a database that is only maintained by the community has its own disadvantages that definitely outweight its advantages. For example, you would need constant moderator approval, which is slow.

2. I am not sure what you mean by the ability to share them privately. Do you mean like whitelisting certain people that can view your animelist? Like how MAL has a friends only thing?

I mean, it’s a tracker with forums.

Basically the reviews, threads and comments of an anime are going to be federated. So a new anime entry will create a new community in Lemmy for example and threads/reviews are going to be posts in that community which everyone on the fediverse can comment on.
