Hi there!

I've created this little experiment, is a tool for tracking your anime/manga consumption-based on activities from your MAL history.

Link -> https://malheatmap.com

It also generates a BB Code to add an image of your progress in your profile or signature :)

With time, your profile will be like this:

Be aware that this image is using fake data. When you subscribe, you will see your current history, entries before 21 days won't show upfront, but, the app will start saving your history from now, so you won't lose your history when MAL hides it after this period.

You'll find more detailed information on About and FAQ pages.

Any feedback/ideas/suggestions are welcome. :]

Looks great, but sadly I cleared out my history recently :(

It seems bugged though. It is counting One Piece chapter 991 as 991 entries lmao and it is the same with other stuff.

I wouldn't say that is a bug, but by desing xD. On the FAQ page there's an explanation about it, but in short, when some anime/manga appears on your public history page for the first time, MAL Heatmap will consider the current episode/chapter amount as watched/read on that day, because there's no way to get the previous position since MAL hides it.

I haven't found a better way to address this particular situation, an option would be starting to count from the next entry, but it sounds wrong to me, imagine if you just start to watch something, then you added 10 episodes at once in your history, it wouldn't appear in your MAL Heatmap on this scenario. :(

I'll think a bit more about it and try to figure out something, maybe making it more clear on the timeline. Thanks for the feedback :)

that would be useful if i updated my list daily...
"among monsters and humans, there are only two types.
Those who undergo suffering and spread it to others. And those who undergo suffering and avoid giving it to others." -Alice
“Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty.” David Hume
“Evil is created when someone gives up on someone else. It appears when everyone gives up on someone as a lost cause and removes their path to salvation. Once they are cut off from everyone else, they become evil.” -Othinus

I changed my username. If I type in the new username and copy that to my profile, it seems like all the history is erased and starts from the beginning?
What should I do?

It does, the updates are executed in an interval of 12 hours.

Please, send me a PV with your prior username, I'll merge your profiles for you. I need to explain this on FAQ, but in short, the way that MAL Heatmap searches for your history is based on your current username.

myanimelist.net/history/<yourusername>

Although, if you change it, your profile won't be updated anymore, because there is no way to identify your account on MAL.
