Myanimelist Redesign
Hello, I am a developer and love watching anime. I wanted to do something for the anime community, so I decided to make a browser extension/addon to improve the design of the website. The extension is now complete and online.
Hope the community will like it :) and I would love to know your views on the work and suggestions on how I can improve on it.



Extension links :
  • Chrome : Extension (Latest Version)
  • Firefox : Addon (Latest Version)

  • Firefox : Addon (Old Version 1.4)

Is it open source?
I'm sorry, but I tend not to be very trustful online when it comes to extensions. If at least a reputable person looked through the code, or if it were open source, I would be more at ease.
There are also userscripts, that I feel are the most optimal, since you can directly check for yourself the code without there being repositeries like, say, on Github, but it's asking a lot to have everything in a single code.

btw the minimalist and flat design is so fast or responsive? or is that just placebo effect that im noticing?

i uninstalled it for now since you are not fetching user login infos right?

Access your data for “named site”

The extension could read the content of any web pages you visit at the specified website, as well as any data you enter into those web pages, such as usernames and passwords.

Extensions requesting this permission might:

Update the look of some or all pages within the website
Block content, such as advertising or content labeled with certain tags

I see some have concern with the authenticity of the extension.
I assure you the extension has no malicious intent.
It cannot read your password. The read permission is required so that i can make DOM changes and append the style tags at right position. Its a very simple extension and no user data is collected or sent to any server. Infact the extension has no upstream , it does not send any data anywhere. I assure you the extension is safe . Its a part of parent project "project-redesign.org". Visit the website, it has my LinkedIn profile link, that should establish some trust.

Doing it on mobile will be a lot harder ๐Ÿ˜…. The website itself is not responsive, it has fixed height and width for majority of components, making them act responsive may end us as a laggy experience. But i will definitely try to make it mobile compatible.
And thank you ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

There's no need to worry about browser extensions. They are usually 100% JS,the same language I use to make userscripts...

It's so freaking easy to reverse engineer any browser extension.

Just Google "convert chrome extension to .crx online", or ".crx downloader". Then isn't hard to see all the codes he wrote to make that script

I also had the exactly same idea he had, but I had this idea a long time ago...
And I would publish that on greasyfork
My idea was to heavily modify and improve how mal looks

@HritikMaster
Great idea,well done. But as someone already previously said,you extension is too minimalist and doesn't really change anything, so I wouldn't use your extension either.

My only recommendation would be for you to check if your extension breaks some/most of the scripts that are on greasyfork,los of people use them. They might uninstall your extension if your extension breaks the script that they are using.

I agree there is no major change in layout or design, but that's actually what I wanted to do achieve with the extension. A reskin of the existing layout to make it look flat and spacious to remove the clutter feeling. I have used kitsu and other sites but I like the content arrangement of MAL the most.
But with the next update I am planning to provide an option to switch to a new layout.

I will checkout your script , It may also help me to improve on my design, In the end I am just a beginner at web design (just graduated last month)

I see๐Ÿค”.... your scripts are more about providing more functionality and extra details.

I see ,
well I am all ears, you can give me ideas to improve the design.



and I do will make regular updates with design improvements.

Same remark for the profile. It's tiring to have to scroll to find manga page? I was a bit surprised at first with the favorites that are 3 per row but it's fine I guess, but yeah, the scrolling bit is a bit of a hassle... I come to this page a lot, is why I want it to be easy peasy.

ANOTHER THING! When quoting in the forums it's hard to see who said what...

Well, from what I've seen it only activates on MyAnimeList. Besides, someone I kinda trust about secure developement in the community (@hacker09) said it was checkable. The autorisations seem worrysome but it's already mostly public information so...

Wow it sure LOOKS good, close to anilist-levels of clean, but it doesn't feel practical enough to use, especially in forums. MAL could use a SLIGHT redesign to polish up some rough edges, but this complete overhaul is a bit of an overload and just doesn't feel as tight or cohesive. It's why I stopped using anilist after using it for like 2 days lol.

A+ for effort by the way, it still looks great, I'm sure a lot of people have chosen to use this now

Wow awesome! It actually looks good especially the dark mode/moon theme! This is aesthetically pleasing to the eyes especially for someone like me who prefers dark themes on websites. This extension automatically creates tabs for the about, statistics, favorites and comments sections so if you prefer browsing MAL profiles horizontally rather than vertically, this extension is for you.
