[discontinued] I made a webapp to compare plan-to-watch lists

Yo is there any way you could get this up and running again? Would love to be able to use this, as well as being able to have more than 2 users and being able to define the number of matches between everyone if not everyone has the exact same anime.

Unfortunately heroku stopped offering their free hosting plan a short while ago. I moved the app elsewhere for a while but that hoster proved unreliable so I cancelled my plan there too. I do have plans to bring this back online in the near future tho. I will definitely message you and update this thread when that happens, nice to see someone caring about my silly weekend project from months back :))

Which new provider had you been trying to use- or what tech stack have you been using for the app?

Nice. How about for 'Plan to Read' (PTR)?

I was *ahem* inspired by daux's post (I am also a learning developer and wanted to make something with MAL's api) and so far I have things set up to compare watch and read lists, I can let you know when it's hosted somewhere? (also sorry to daux for stealing the idea)

Cool! said:

Live here
It takes like 30 seconds to spin up the first time you use it because of the hosting I'm using, but otherwise should be fine. Also sorry if you're on a big/small screen, I'll fix that at some point 😅 I also need to add support for real big lists like yours, there will be some stuff missing atm :(
I'll probably hold up on posting this anywhere else for now until it's more polished or somefink

Oh, that was fast. We were just talking about it a few days ago.

So you're using netlify. Your site matches lists from two users and shows one title at a time while mal-ptw-match lists titles on a grid (ex: https://malptw.daux0r.de/?user1=IridescentJaune&user2=shunthespy), the matches on both sites redirect to a titles' MAL page which is nice. Waiting for it to spin was alright. Although there are much bigger lists than mine... I compared our lists and noticed that only 3 titles matched in your site while 6 titles matched in mal-ptw-match. There were also a few titles missing in mal-ptw-match (ex: Hellsing Ultimate, Little Witch Academia (TV), Lucky☆Star, Mairimashita! Iruma-kun, Yuru Camp△ and a few more) as I checked our lists side-by-side (I mean in separate tabs). I tried looking for those titles here but I believe that page only lists titles we've already watched and rated. Some titles on your PTW are also in my On-Hold. I noticed that the missing titles are titles starting with H, L, M and so on for both sites.

If you don't mind, I'd like to share your project here Everything that connects to MyAnimeList. and here [WEBSITES] All helpful sites for MyAnimeList users later on. You could get more feedback there as well.

Fixed the issue with limited amounts of data, should get everything on plan-to-watch now (looks like it because there are a lot more results). Will deploy that online soon (edit: done). I'll try to fix the long spin-up tomorrow and then I'll get back to you on sharing it!! It sounds both very fun and good for feedback but I haven't sleep yet (was watching anime :p) so I'll do that first.

Thanks for all the feedback and checking out my little project!

@IridescentJaune regarding the missing entries, i just took a look at your PTW list and it has 3145 entries :D in my code the list limit is set at 1000 currently. default was way lower if not set iirc. i have not looked into this for a while so i am not sure if i can just set the limit to some hopefully unreachable value like 10000 or so.

aaaanyway thanks for pointing it out <3 may update in the future. :3

No worries about "stealing" my idea haha @shunthespy :3 its a nice fun training project to tinker with after all.

@IridescentJaune I am realizing my ability to fix the spin-up issue might be limited for now (haven't found a good alternative for hosting my reverse proxy), so feel free to share it and I'll get it fixed if/when I figure something out. :)

Alright. I just shared both sites in Everything that connects to MyAnimeList. I've shared mal-ptw-match before and it's already listed on the first page of the thread but I figured why not mention it again.

Issue with 1000+ lists still remains but I'll get to it soon promise :3
