Anime tracking

Would it be possible to add tracking for sites such as anilist? We could link entry in my personal list with entry on anilist and have + - buttons or something to change progress etc.

Do you mean synching the watched episodes across anime database websites? That seems like a lot of work. If there is indeed a website that stores universal anime IDs (like ISBN), that would be a lot easier. But I see that Mushishi's ID differs across MyAnimeList, AniDB, AniList, AnimePlanet, etc. Integrating MPL with all of them is going to be hell. And I have not even mentioned the API maintenance yet.

That wouldn't be such a lot of work. I don't mean all database websites, we could start with anilist. It has simple GraphQL API that is FREE to use for everybody. We would just need to let users authorize in browser and bring back Oauth code. With that we could search for anime and tie it to one in our library. And then we can send simple API calls to increase progress by one for specific anime ID. I've done it before but with mobile app and different language. All data website wouldn't be required. Only the two most popular ones such as anilist and MyAnimeList would be totally fine. anilist is especially the one with easy API

IDK, man. I no longer use online anime tracking. There is also no significant visitor count difference between AniList and the others (according to this website). I feel like if we only implement those two, the others would get jealous. Besides, I have a list to do with this app (like making it general, not only for anime but also for things like manga). Maybe when I finish the list, I will implement synchronization.

It should not take too long. That 8-month break is just me studying a mental disorder called Obsessive Compulsive Disorder that I think I have.

@SnekNOTSnake is the project still maintained? Or do you not have time for it again? Which is fine if you have more important stuff in life
