Download marvel-reading-tracker-windows.zip below, unzip it anywhere, and run Start on Windows.cmd. Node is bundled, so nothing needs installing.

Upgrading from 1.1.1 is safe. Your reading progress lives in your browser against http://127.0.0.1:8787/, not in the folder, so replacing the folder does not touch it. There is nothing to back up and nothing to migrate.

The app now tells you when there is a new version

This is the change worth knowing about, because it is the one that means you do not have to come back here to find out anything changed. The app checks once a day whether a newer version has been published, and if there is one it shows a notice with a direct download link and a link to what changed.

It only ever reads a version number. It never downloads, installs or replaces anything by itself, and nothing about your reading is sent anywhere. You can turn the check off under Backup & settings, and there is a button on the About screen for checking by hand whenever you want.

This is the first release the notice can see, since it works by comparing your version against the newest published one.

Getting issues in without typing them

You can now fill in a new issue's details from the Marvel Fandom wiki instead of entering them by hand: type the title, pick from the matches, and the release date, page count and creative team are filled in for you.

You can also paste a Marvel Unlimited address and have the book id read straight off it, rather than picking it out yourself.

Finding your way around

The catalog now says which half of it you are looking at, so a long shelf is easier to place yourself in. Each reading order can say which order to read after it, so finishing one tells you where to go next. The readme now shows the catalog rather than only describing it.

Fixes

Collapsing the sidebar used to blank every pill in the catalog. It no longer does.

The message left behind after deleting a reading list can now be closed, instead of staying until something else replaced it.

Everything else

The full list, including the maintainer-facing work, is in CHANGELOG.md.
