MALgraph - one online tool to rule them all

Some time ago I found a website that generated graphs of your MAL ratings. I found it pretty useful, as it made me re-think of the scores I gave to various anime on my list - thus widening the scores and highlighing really good titles. Unfortunately, that page stopped working recently, so I decided to make my own version of it.

Then chrupky and I decided to remake it from scratch and make it the ultimate tool for MyAnimeList users.

Here it is: mal.oko.im

It works for both anime- and manga-lists and, among other features, lets you export an image version of your rating distribution that looks like this:

It's nice. Is there any way to make the username have capital letters though?

I convert them to lowercase to prevent duplicates. I changed it to show the username you specified, while working with lowercase filenames.

"you rated "10" over 10% of the titles you’ve watched.
you’re either retarded or watched only godly anime.
please re-rate them to make MAL a better place."

Very nice, good work fri.
How's this for coincidence, looking at my own graph i have: 9 anime's rated 9, 7 rated 7, 6 rated 6, 5 rated 5 and 4 rated 4.

I'll have to rewrite the cache saving as it gets bigger and bigger ridiculously fast. 90 MB in 3 hours is not good.

Mainly 7s for me, as I expected. I rarely rate anything lower than that unless I actually disliked it so nothing below a 4.
Anyway, this is pretty nice ^ ^. Loving the over 10% 10 rating message xD

All cache had been deleted because of a new engine. You shouldn't see any difference though. I've found a way to make it up to 3.5 times faster and download even less from MAL, but it's not implemented yet.

I'm glad to see it being useful (800 views in 10 hours is something). Thank you for your opinions!

edit: Okay, uploaded v3. Now it should work waaay faster - instead of downloading the list, it now compares the scores with a *secret* user, and as the compare page is definitely more lightweight, fetching it is faster. Also, if anyone cared: compared to v1, v3 stores ~30 times smaller cache.

From the very beginning I wanted to make it export images, but I'm not sure how it would work, because I don't have too much disk space on my server (only 1 GB). Storing too many of them would quickly become a problem, same as with overgrown cache. It could return an image, let the user download it and delete it afterwards, but I wanted to make it "live" and re-generate the image automatically every once in a while.

The "non-live" version wouldn't be too bad though, but you'd have to visit the page, generate the image and upload it somewhere every time you needed a fresh one.

If you have any ideas how to solve it then I'm all ears.

Fun little tool fri! Thanks for sharing this with us!

Mine: http://tehoko.info/mal/case649

Relatively smooth parabola centered between 6 & 7. Guess I overrate by just a smidge. :)

Would it be possible to do something with BBCode using 1px by 15px "slices" to build the bar graph with approximate proportions/percentages? Kinda like this? That way all the detail's in the user's individual BBCode and you don't have to keep store anything more resource-draining on your server than the 1 px graphic.

Heh, Forest-kun, that's quite an unusual distribution.

@case649: Your mention of BBCode gave me an idea of how to make it work. It won't use images, but Unicode characters, so it'll look like this:

10 - ██░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ - 3
*9 - ██████░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ - 13
*8 - ████████████████████████████░░ - 65
*7 - ██████████████████████████████ - 70
*6 - ███████████████████████████░░░ - 62
*5 - ████████████████░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ - 37
*4 - ████████████░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ - 28
*3 - █████████░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ - 19
*2 - ████░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ - 8
*1 - ██░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ - 3

Now all that's left is how to make it as easy as possible for the user to copy this. Let's see...

No sweat... It's mainly for informative purposes, but I hope it'll encourage people to rate more wisely.

I was away for the whole day, so I couldn't script too much. At least I passed all the exams in this semester, yay.
I have a fully working manga version (on localhost; it's not online yet). The only thing that's left is adding a few lines of javascript that simplify getting the BBCode. The exported BBCode looks like this: (using Han-yuu's data)

As it is just a piece of text, it does not update automatically - you'll have to re-generate your graph, click on "get BBCode", hit ctrl+c and then ctrl+v it into your profile. Separately for anime- and manga-list. If you really need up-to-date graph, you could sacrifice one minute of your day and repeat it every 24 hours.
This is a good time for suggestions regarding this feature.

It looks great. i posted it on my profile. thanks again.

though i'm thinking why don't you use same graph to generate image? that can be cached for 48 to 72 hours. also same image can work on MALgraph page instead text, it won't need extra cache files. or will it create problem for server?

and congrats for passing all exams.

MALgraph v5 is available now. Visible changes include a new 'global stats' window, comparing your mean score to global average rating and a little remake of BBCode copy window. If you see no changes then just refresh the page.

I'm surprised MALgraph is visited so frequently - nearly 450 visits per day is about 45 times more I expected... I'm glad some of you find it useful!

By the way, something bigger is coming...

The idea is innovative and quite good in fact but I was wondering, why is that when I click global stats, it shows only 867 unique usernames? It can't be that MAL has only 867 users only, right?

or is it like it adds only people who have visited your website.. (That must be it or I can't think of another reason.)
