Most of what I’ve seen of Komi has been really good, maybe artist was having an off day there. Also some artists when they do color illustrations are just worse.

tbh I'm reading a lot less scanlations and a lot more officially translated manga these days, I got sick of reader sites dying or scanlation groups giving up on a series halfway through

I'm really sad Hibiki: How to become a Novelist stopped being scanlated. That was the last series aside from Berserk (rip) and Houseki no Kuni I was really invested in.

If you have access to a server in the cloud anywhere (Azure and AWS will let you run one completely free for 12 months) it's pretty easy to use a socks proxy and an addon to automatically connect via the proxy specifically for nyaa/mangadex/whatever.

...I honestly wish they'd do the desktop UI first? Because this incarnation of the follows feed is unusable, and if they open the floodgates with it in this state I reckon I'm going to miss a whole bunch of stuff.

When you write big programs, especially websites, you start out having to make assumptions about exactly how each little fiddly bit of it works. Over time, requests come in that upend those assumptions, sometimes challenging the very foundational thinking of your product. Eventually the code becomes so dense with hacks and partial solutions that you just have to step back, consider everything that came before, rethink your roadmap, and build it all back up from scratch. Also it sounds like the MD people are doing a proper API layer this time, which adds some complexity in the middle of your program but (if properly thought out) makes both the frontend and backend easier to change going forward. It's more work up front for fewer hacks and easier management in the future. As long as their security is sorted, of course.

on one hand i don't know how much work the mangadex devs may or may not have put into rebuilding the site, but on the other hand i've never given them any money for any of their time or hosting costs so why would i care?

It's also probably something they're doing during their free time after their actual job, education or whatever. So even if they are only putting in a few hours a week, then yeah, makes sense.

Is it just me, or is the site down? I figured I should probably upload the latest chapters of the thing I do, but the site's not working at all. Or did they change their URL?

It's up for me. That said, a bunch of people have mentioned that their isp is blocking the site, and they changed the address so bookmarks might not work if they were made before the downtime.

I did some basic web development in the first year of a college course only a year ago, and even putting together a basic site with some java apps running in the background took me a few weeks at several hours a day. I was learning as I was doing though, so that's probably not the best measure. Still, coding in general is not a fast process from my limited experience. As I said above though, I doubt most of these folks are coding the site as a living anyway. They might make a living coding sites, but probably not this particular site. So I doubt they're putting all their time and energy into it, and they're more likely doing it as a passion project for an hour or two every couple of nights when they have some free time. tsob fucked around with this message at 13:57 on Jul 8, 2021 |

Yeah, something this wide-ranging, with a redevelop of both the front- and backend, with uploads, file tracking, comments, admin features, and all that, could be a thousand programmer-hour job, easy. The actual scope would depend on whether they're starting from a commercially available CMS or just building from ground zero, and what frameworks they're using.

Hope a real UI is still coming. I loved slowly but steadily browsing through the mountains of titles available and occasionally finding something cool and obscure. It's practically impossible now without a proper search by most time since last updated and list view.

I hope they repair the feature to list all manga translated by a given translator. It was my main way to find new manga.

It's always had hentai but it hid it by default and I think it still does. Maybe the new UI does a worse job of that somewhere.
