Salam alikom
I have a suggestion that is so useful for users like me
which essentially is to change the dot color for airing anime in your list from green to orange if the work ( anime or manga ) is advanced then your current watched episodes.
for example in my anime list those 2 anime ( futari solo camp and tougen anki ) should have an orange dot instead of green
Simply
[ Foreach entry(anime/manga) { if entry.status==releasing AND entry.released_episodes > mylist.entry_progress do mylist.entry.dot = orange }
The homepage already does this, it separates airing and finished anime you are watching
Yes I know the homepage does separate completed and airing anime and also does add a little red line under those which are airing and you are late on progress ( those are the same that i suggested to give them an orange dot in the anime list )
but for me who never open the homepage it makes sense to have the same information in the anime list
Like the other person said, it's shown on the home page. Below are screenshots of my anime in progess. One Piece is airing and has a banner which says how far behind I am when I hover over it.
Edit: Also, I'm pretty sure orange dots are for anime that are on hiatus or something like that. Orange is already in use. Iirc.
I don't know where I imagined that up from lmao. Edit n2: Right, it was because of the browse page. Orange is for planning, green is for watched and blue is for watching.
i know about homepage and i never open it ( except to check which anime i am behind ) so i would like to see it on anime list also )
for the color it doesn't matter , any color can do the job LOL
Not to criticise how you use the site, but I find it very surprising that you don't use the homepage. When you open Anilist, it goes straight to Home and you have to click on Anime list at the top to go to it.
For something to be implemented in the site, it would have to be something a lot of people agree with but I can't really imagine that many people have thought about this.
For how i use the site , simply i usually watch airing anime each season sometimes daily sometimes not ( i don't stick to 1 anime ) and i open the site through bookmark on my page which goes directly to [ Anime List ] because simply homepage is slower and takes more time to update progress and load not like the list page.
For this to be implemented it is not this HARD nor this IMPORTANT and it is a WIN/WIN situation since no information is going to be lost ( airing information is gonna be kept either by green or orange* ) and not hard since it is already implemented on the home page.
which means implementing this is giving additional information with the minimum work.
anyway was just a suggestion.
A month late and not the person you are replying to but their idea is still a good idea but for other reasons. The home page has a max of 40 shows. My current watching is always more than this so if I miss a show chances are I wont know until the literal next week because it only shows the 40 most recent where as if it worked on your list it would show everything. The only other solution is to just expand the home page version to all shows in your watching but seeing as its been 40 max for a long time now I feel the devs don't want to change that.
In retropsect, the idea is pretty nice and I would be very on board for this to be implemented. I have also started to not using the home page at all (limiting my use of this site) so I see the vision now lol.
For the people who watch releasing anime every week, it seems like a great feature, especially for people like you who watch a ton. I didn't think much of it because it's already there on the home page and I also don't watch weekly stuff.
The more people a feature idea appeals to, the better. This started off in my head as something not so interesting but after a month, it's not bad at all.
