A user expressed these points in the convo about Scryer on reddit:

(quote below)
There's no way to edit your search while at the result page for example. Touch input isn't supported properly, there is no "OR" option for Genre or characters (not that FFN or Ao3 have one) and I find the layout/color palette too sleek.

I do not necessarily agree that those are critical, just wanted to forward the feedback

 

Could you turn on indexing Supernatural please?

 

Could you please index my hero academia?

 

Could you please index Code Geass? Thanks!

 

Very nice. One problem, if you change fandom it still references HP characters for the relationship search. If the feature is only meant to cover HP related fiction then maybe disable it if the fandom is not set to HP?

 

Excellent work.

Now that I've logged in, I can notice a piece of UI weirdness. The dropdown from hovering over the username has badly-coloured text, like so:https://i.gyazo.com/d212afb935dd6eaa8a74355f770a0cb4.png

 

@Lord Ravenclaw so I was searching for stories and I noticed that when you have the option to choose the required characters, there are two options named "Albus D."

So I was searching for stories that had "Harry P." as well and I noticed that the first Albus D. option had no results but stories come up when you use the second Albus D. option.

tl;dr, There are 2 choices for Dumbledore. You should probably get rid of one of them.

 

There's also five OC choices.



The relationships option also seems to be a bit bugged. It works alright when I set up a new search, but if I save it and try to open it again it gives out an error 500.

 

First off, thanks for building this. Much love.

Small request: would be great to be able to filter out fics we’ve already seen/clicked on. Scryer already keeps track of that, shown with the eye icon - would like to just look for new fics.

Thanks again for putting this together.

 

Good Evening...

I'm a long-time DLP lurker, brand spanking new member though. Why?

'Cause I love Scryer and was chatting with a bunch of Merlin fans, and we were all lamenting the fact we can't search in Scryer for fics. So I asked folks... "has anyone actually asked if they could index Merlin for Scryer?", and the answer seemed to be "no, I don't think so."

So here I go -- would you be so kind as to index Merlin so that we could do searches on it? I'd be oh so grateful.

Many thanks for all your hard effort!
