[FEATURE REQUEST] - Recommendations

[ghost]

Implement a recommendation system based on users' tracked activities. For example, if a user enjoys a particular genre of books, Ryot can suggest similar books or authors they might like.

I do not want Ryot to be a recommendation system, only a tracking system. That being said maybe we can have integration with third party APIs that can handle recommendation.

[ghost]

You are right, this is better left to an API otherwise it would require a lot of data that could only be gathered by someone who made a public website using this program, and it would require user permissions, and the algorithm to find similarities would be very complex. If I encounter an API that recommends media I'll be sure to write it down here.

Thanks for your suggestions! Closing.

[IgnisDa]

I have decided to implement this 😅.

I now plan to add a new recommendations section on the dashboard.

Notes to self:

• Seed the recommendations using the current date (select title from metadata order by md5(title || 'usr_2G2UTC2Q1auY') limit 5)
• Following APIs support recommendations:
  • Anilist: anime and manga
  • TMDB: movies, shows
  • Listen notes: podcasts
