Thread Description
Another Fucking Anime Database

Halo

I have been working away at Varis.List.
What is it? At the current moment an inferior MAL, but hopefully the features i'm aiming to add will convince people to start using it.

The absolute basics are ready, and you can use it at https://varis.social
Currently a small team is chipping away at filling out the database, I'll be creating a frontend for people to help out soon enough.

You can follow the development, or create feature requests here https://gitlab.varis.social/varislist/varis.list
Can also ask questions/comment/request in this thread, but it's far more likely I'll consider a feature request it if it's on the gitlab.

Its looking pretty nice. I can see it getting a lot better with more time on it.:gurayaya:
Would there be a point in creating an account right now?

IMO id ignore MAL outside the better wiki aspect and look more into what kitsu (formally hummingbird) is doing UI and otherwise


it's my main thing for tracking. and I think many of its features would probably do well as a base for any new site. tho personally id strip out the social features (we have dedicated sites for that which can be integrated such as auto list updates being posted to the hangout) and just look at how they do UI and ep tracking

Kitsu has kind of stagnated since the lead left to do other things some years back. it still works fine for what it is tho. so I think if you want some inspiration on how to make a better MAL id look at them

Currently no. Unless you wanna help with some of the testing/features.
but hopefully you'll have a reason too soon enough

I've gotta draw out the roadmap for the sites development and what features are coming. I have a lot of stuff in mind, some of which is already implemented, but not shown on the FE.
I just use "MAL clone" as a general term cause most people know what that is.
I'll take a look, and I'll also post the link to what's planned once I have it drawn out.
There is... a few things I wanna do with this that I hope people will enjoy.

MAL is a fucking shithole that's become pretty much ourgaymaplist with the amount of cringey shit that goes on in the forums from circlejerking to crying about rankings/ratings so looks like i'll be using this as an alternative to mal and anilist since that place is full of looney troon mods that would ban you if you have Kayne of all people as your favorites.
