 Click image to view non-blurred, full picture, with examples. Have a look at my signature. That's what I'm talking about. Usage: [img]https://www.malembed.tk/USERNAME[/img] Change USERNAME with your MAL username. Any feedback is welcome! The official website is at https://www.malembed.tk The service is absolutely free, and there are thousands* of possible combinations possible with the live editor! I created this small project because I wanted something that would display the anime list. A month after creation, I learned about the official Signature feature. Well then. But even that wasn't as feature-rich or beautiful as my project.  *The term "thousands" here literally means thousands, because you can include any Imgur image in your embed. |

 Hmm.. Not bad. Looks awesome! |
Thanks for the feedback! Soon this thread is going to be filled with these because you reply to these, and you have signatures to these, etc.... :P |

I might make the Completed light blue, and Watching light green. |
That's what I meant |
There. Done. Everything should be updated. |
 Looks cool i like it |
 Looks cool, good job. |
|
 Cool I like this idea. |
 |
 That's pretty cool I like it. |
 |
 Its pretty cool but I wish it could look better. Its not bad but it doesn't look artistically pleasing. |

 Let's see how this looks! Update : ooOOoOo |

 Let's see, let's see... Woah, that's cool! |

| The only thing I would want to add would be a way to change the backround |

NexAnim88 said: The only thing I would want to add would be a way to change the backround I'll work on that. Parameters would be good, right? Something maybe like /USERNAME?background=HEXCOLOR&watchingText=HEXCOLOR... |
KaiserNazrin said: Its pretty cool but I wish it could look better. Its not bad but it doesn't look artistically pleasing. Any way you think I could make it better? Color schemes? |

| Looks like a nice, but the background could use some work. Solid colors just aren't appeasing nowadays, especially on a white site layout. |

| That's why you test with a bunch of stuff before going with it officially :P. |
|
| Update: Now features anime characters! Insert one of the predefined anime characters on the side! Also colors as well! Enter a hex color code as a parameter (more on website) and make it colorful!  Made a website for explanation. Edit: Wow, the signature and this makes my eyes go.... nuts. |

| Nice! It's progressively getting better, keep up the good work. Really like these new additions |

| Yea with the backround changed to a picture it looks much better |

Could you do that but have it cover the entire background? Annuvin said: You could have different options for the background, even adding a basic variable like &color=#whatever would do the job and everybody'd be able to choose the color they want. Anyhow, interesting idea, I believe I did something similar but with score distribution a long time ago. Tyrel said: Looks like a nice, but the background could use some work. Solid colors just aren't appeasing nowadays, especially on a white site layout. Update: Pictures as backgrounds! Use your own by providing a Imgur picture id or choose one of the default 4! If you are going to upload your own picture, it will be scaled, so it's better to create one with the aspect ratio of 25:8 (400x128). More explanation and usage on the website. |

| Ayy thanks a ton for this dude! |
| Looks really awesome when you add background images. Good work OP :) |

| That's mad dank. Cool if I use this? Edit: Testing this out; having trouble finding a color shadow I like so black seems fine.  |
FoOct 29, 2016 7:56 PM
 This is really cool! |
 |
| Couple backgrounds I made; took me literally 10 seconds but maybe some people might wanna use em. |
| You should make it so that people can add any character at the corner of the signature if they know how to make one that fit. |
|
 Pretty neat idea, with backgrounds and such it's really cool. Keep up the work. |
KaiserNazrin said: You should make it so that people can add any character at the corner of the signature if they know how to make one that fit. I don't think I'll do that. I had to manually change the position pixel by pixel for each character, for they have different edges and sizes even after the original image is resized. |

 Not bad actually. The only problem I see is that it takes time to load. I'll try to tinker with this when I have the time. |

I'm too broke to afford a paid server. Well, if this gets big enough, I doubt no one will be kind enough to donate some cash to afford a monthly server service. And you also need to keep in mind the profile badges that'll come up.... soon. That's definitely something you'd want to put here. Any idea how much you need pay to make this run smoothly though? Perhaps I can help? |
 cool. curse you limit daaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn |
Annuvin said: @FoxInFlame, @julyan, you can get a decent (1TB bandwidth, but it's more of a soft limit currently, i.e. they don't charge you if you go over it) server on DigitalOcean for ~$5 a month - that's not really a fortune. Also, GitHub offers $50 in credits through their Student Developer Pack if you happen to have an .edu email lying around. Sounds like a good deal. And I doubt we'll need more than 1TB a month even if the number of user grows quite reasonably. Unfortunately, my uni never gave us an edu email, just a custom email from google which I rarely used xD |

Also, GitHub offers $50 in credits through their Student Developer Pack if you happen to have an .edu email lying around. Let me say a few points. 1. I don't own an edu email address. Since I'm not in the US, I only get a custom domain Google account. 2. I don't have a credit card. Nor a bank account. I'm pretty young. XD 3. I'm just broke in pocket money because I buy too much junk food and useless stuff which I regret buying later. 4. It could also be slow because I didn't take time to perfect the code. I don't know how to perfect it anyway. I just used my basic knowledge. 5. Never heard of profile badges. Any details/information that I can look into? I'll try to keep it going on my current server until it hits a point where it can no longer handle all the bandwidth. Then I'll just end the project, simply put. |

Annuvin said: In that case you should at least implement some size limit, caching and compression in general. Every signature takes at least 2 seconds to load for me right now, that's way longer than all the other parts of MAL together. //You can set compression and all the necessary headers in either apache's config or a .htaccess file. Might require some additional mods to be installed - mod_headers, mod_expires and probably something else. As for the cache, the simplest way would be to just set a timeout for the script and update signatures every 5-10-30 (I dunno) minutes, otherwise just serve a static image generated from the previous script run. //Almost forgot, seeing how long the script takes I'm guessing you're fetching the data directly from user profiles? If that's the case you should probably try using http://myanimelist.net/malappinfo.php?u=USERNAME&status=all&type=anime Fetch it with curl, parse as xml, count stats - voila. Will probably reduce the time significantly. Let me know if you need an example. 1. I'll look into compressing, since I've never done that before. 2. The same for caching. 3. I fetch the data from the actual user profiles. I also did consider using the MALappinfo method, but then, the profile image won't be available. I don't know if it'll make it faster if I add in another fetch and still keep the old one for the image. Do you know if there are tools (apps or websites) that would allow me to calculate the average time it takes to load? I would love to see some stats to see the improvements before and after so that I see I'm not doing anything wrong. Relying on myself counting isn't that effective (XD), and it depends on the cache as well. Basically, I want to see the exact time (possibly in milliseconds) it takes to load. |
