I did see the beta calendar. It's a start for sure, but most back catalog titles still have zero information in terms of when to expect new chapters for them, so there is definitely still work to be done in that regard. And on the calendar itself: entries should ideally be grouped by day. Multiple entries for the same title on the same day should get grouped to one entry (so eg. "Again!! c74-76" rather than "Again!! c74" "Again!! c75" "Again!! c76"). And this one's especially important: if a user is logged in, the calendar should highlight titles in My List by default, and you should also be able to filter the calendar to only show My List titles. For an external reference, I can recommend taking a look at J-Novel Club's release calendar, as it covers basically all of these points and then some: https://j-novel.club/calendar On the subject of apps, I'm not saying you shouldn't have apps, I'm just saying that there are certain things you should share across the web and apps, like the reader. Basically, you could have the reader running in a web view inside the mobile apps, and this way you could have just one reader codebase that gets reused across all the platforms. You could take this even further and build your mobile apps with web tech inside web views as well. You probably wouldn't do that at this point, but I would still recommend looking into using the reader in a web view at least, as that's no doubt the most complex frontend component in the entire system. |
