| I made a web app for sorting anime on your MAL profile. I made this app as a way to make consistent and objective anime "tier lists". I am currently hosting it at https://myanimetierlist.herokuapp.com/. It's pretty intuitive to use, just type in your MAL username and chose from what list you want to select from (by default this will be your Completed list). You will be presented with two anime from your list, chose the one you like the most among the two and you will be presented with another pair. This will continue until the program has sorted every possible pair of anime. This can be a very lengthy process if you have a large list so I've included a couple features to help with that. There is a min/max counter which estimates the number of comparisons required before the program has fully sorted your list. And there is a Save feature in case you want to take a break and continue at a later time. It is worth noting that the app scrapes the data directly from your list and doesn't use an API so it will not work if your list is set to private, and you may run into some issues if you are using a custom theme. The Save feature uses local storage so the information will be saved locally on your computer and will be deleted if you clear the cache/history on your browser. Also I've only tested it in Chrome and Firefox so I can't guarantee it will work in other browsers yet. I would really appreciate anyone who takes the time to create their own tier lists with the app, and I welcome all feedback and suggestions. |
Stardew said: I can't seem to get anything to happen. I type my username in and press submit but nothing happens :( I have tried Chrome and Firefox both computer/android I think this is because you are using a custom theme on your list. If possible try temporarily switching to the default theme. Strange that you aren't getting an error message though, I will look into that. |
| For people like me who are going to play with it out of curiosity, having it work only with the default list design is restrictive. Sounds very cool though. |

I wouldn't want to automate that since some people might want to change their ratings, but it wouldn't be hard to add the ratings to the card so that you can make your decision faster.

Yeah really sorry about that, the app currently collects data in a really hacky way. My next goal is to integrate the app with an API like Jikan to make the it more accessible. If you remember, come back in a week and this issue should be fixed. |
| I guess it doesn't work for me either. First I used the "Dark Green" theme and it said "Invalid Input" and then I switched to Default and it still didn't work. Is there a reason for it? |

Is there a reason for it? I actually recently fixed the issue with the themes, it should work with any custom theme. I made some changes to the way the proxy works, and I think that is where the problem is coming from. Try again in 30 minutes I should have it fixed by then. edit: I did some searching and it looks like the API I am using is having trouble connecting to MAL's servers. MAL is returning an internal server error. I will let you know if I can get it to work with your profile. It isn't an issue with the theme though so you don't need to worry about that. |

| Seems like the API is blocking it from working |

MSAtlos said: Seems like the API is blocking it from working MAL recently started blocking IP ranges from cloud services like Heroku. People are talking about it here https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1844975. The app was definitely working 3 days ago. I will have to find a different place to host the app. |
-1RIng2Rule- said: Is there a way to exclude Plan to Watch, but keep the Dropped, On Hold, and Watching titles? I could definitely do this, but I'm still trying to figure out why MAL suddenly forbade me from making requests. Edit: MAL is now accepting requests and the app works as intended again. |

morgann_thain said: If you're still around, I was wondering how you scraped the data from MAL. I want to take my completed list, probably in order of rating top down, and be able to play with it using their pictures. Manually make an SABCDEF tier list with + and - (so S+, S, S-,...) (hopefully make this customizable) and stuff like that. And since I have some time this summer I'd def wanna make a website like yours and maybe host it on heroku or something and share it too. Hey Morgann, I originally just requested the page's source as plain text and parsed the information I cared about through trial and error. This is a really unreliable and time consuming process and I don't recommend it. Later I refactored the app to use MAL's public API and it is very intuitive to use. The documentation can be found here https://myanimelist.net/apiconfig/references/api/v2 and there are support forums on the website if you have any questions although I can't attest to the quality of said support. hacker09 said: What's the point of it? The way I rate an anime (or any other piece of media) is by comparing it to how much enjoyment I get from it compared to every other anime I've experienced. This can get really difficult when you've seen a lot of shows and I tend to change my mind a lot and have inconsistent opinions. I remember seeing a similar app people used to make Fire Emblem character tier lists and it inspired me (I want to make that but for anime). The app is currently not active because I use the free plan on heroku which is very limited and I have other services running on my account. Here is a video of what the app looked like and how it worked https://youtu.be/2jQlMQmB1eI. |
| It’s not working.... why? |
| For the sake of anyone curious, herokuapp now requires you to pay for programs so the animetierlist application went down because I'm sure its original creator doesn't even think about it anymore and wouldn't be able or willing to pay for it. |

Nothing's free nowadays... And because of that a few other apps that used herokuapp are no longer working. R.I.P. to these tier lists: https://animetierlist.herokuapp.com/mal/ https://mal-tier-list-app.herokuapp.com Uhm, is there a similar template available on TierMaker? |
