    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?








  • Well, a few more anime probably won’t change your genre combination but if it ever did, it would have to be within a day for you to even notice. The 24 hours expiry limit is configured in the anote.toml configuration file for the genre combination caches. So if something like that happens, your animelist will be calculated again in 24 hours

    By the way, what exactly do you mean by “it did not take my completed animes into account”? Do you mean it showed you animes that you’ve already watched?

    And also, I recommend you to read the “You should know” section in the README.md file in the GitHub repository as it should explain some stuff that you just asked.

    (I don’t really know why that SSL handshake error happens, I will look into it.)









  • The thing is anime.plus is more of a statistic tool than a recommendation algorithm. I can’t comment on their recommendation algorithm since it’s written in PHP and I don’t know PHP at all (my algorithm is written in Rust btw). What I noticed is that they mixed in themes to genres. Probably because of MAL’s poor labeling.

    I’ve also been trying to add some rather stalker-like factors into my algorithm just to test, such as your average watch time of 12 episode animes and changing the weights according to that. However, it became complex pretty soon and my algorithm slowed down to 1 millisecond from 500 microseconds, so yeah. It also didn’t have that much of an impact and I figured out that it is rather dumb since liking a certain genre does not mean everyone will binge-watch the anime like I do.
