He was kidding. I think.

 

Madness? THIS IS DLP!!!!

 

Is there a way to search the summary for certains words and exclude them? I never want to see mpreg or slash again =/

Also, the Community-Driven Tag Cloud upgrade seems like a good idea, but only if there's some sort of moderation of the tags. Perhaps a tumbs up / down on them so we can exclude the trolling ones?

 

It took me a bit to realize, but the new interface is a click-and-drag system for your preferences. I'm loving it. Great work!

 

Only thing I can complain about (from a dev prospective) is they way those dropdowns are implemented (I.E.: Sort By/Sort Order).

A few other websites I've seen do this too, and it makes it impossible to use the keyboard to navigate them. I don't use my mouse at all when navigating a web form, so it's more than a little bit annoying.

Should also put all of your scripts at the bottom of the page (even the libraries).

Overall, awesome job.

 

In a roundabout sort of a way, you helped me come up with the solution for fixing a couple of bugs with those drop downs. Have a cookie. And keyboard-usable select fields. (Make sure you force reload of the scripts or clear your cache)

I'm curious as to why the scripts should be at the bottom of the page. What's the reasoning behind that?

 

Loving the genre blocking.

It's become a sort of "rule of thumb" because it makes the page load faster (because Javascript blocks parallel downloads). If you put a slow-loading script in the HEAD, it holds up the rest of the page from downloading until it's done.

For your app, though, it probably won't make a big difference - it already loads fast and doesn't seem to cause any problems the way you have it now, so... /shrugs

 

That.

He is right, that it isn't causing any problems, though. Using a CDN (Google or otherwise) also helps speed things up. It's just a habit I've gotten used to, and point out to anyone I come across still putting JS higher up in the page.

Wonder if I can find that seemingly missing story of mine from the disabled!Harry thread...>.>

 

Dragging is cool and all in a computer,but it just made the site unusable in my mobile.

It would be wonderful if you would write a mobile friendly version of the site.

 

I just pushed in a couple of changes that should make the site much friendlier for mobile browsers. It's definitely on my todo list to make a mobile-native version, but for now, removing the drag and drop and letting the phone use it's own multiselect widget will have to work.


@Militis, Rubicon, and Lord Ravenclaw
I don't think the structure of the Pyramid framework allows for early flushing of the html header, but I'll continue to look into it. In the meantime, the scripts have been moved to the bottom of the page. Thanks for the lesson.

 

Great work on the site. I think it would be cool if our search preferences would be saved for future searches.

 

I'm pretty sure just copying and pasting the URL should work. Being able to save preferences would be nice, but it's not impossible to do at the moment.

 

This tool is awesome moatra. Is there a way to filter fics through chapter density? Like 5k words/chapter or something to that effect.

 

Directly? No.

However, with the power of math, you can set the maximum chapters to 5 and the minimum words to 20,000. The results will then only contain stories with a minimum chapter density of 4k words/chapter.

If for some reason you want stories with a maximum chapter density of 4k words/chapter, set maximum words at 20,000 and minimum chapters at 5.

I may or may not make it into its own separate feature, but the workaround is pretty trivial for right now.

 

You're doing God's work.

 

Is there a way to get it to show only stories that have just Harry P. as their character tag?
