Why no update for such a great app

Open AuthorShin opened this issue 1 year ago • 9 comments

Hello I'm wondering why developer @devfake left such a wonderful watch list to dry?

I guess they no longer have that itch to scratch. I can't code to save my life ((edit to remove a wish for forks. There is a fork as recent as last month that updates python support. Several before that. I'll be trying them out soon!!))

Flox really is the best experience I've found for watchlists.

Sadly no releases for a long time. Maybe look at https://github.com/bonukai/MediaTracker

Thanks for the tip! I appreciate how they link similar projects for comparison. Classy.

Looking forward to hear from you. Can you please tell me about the newly updated docker ones?

Exactly same here, simple clean and all you need.

I'm switching 100% to MediaTracker. The Docker image works great, and it now tracks video game and book releases! Simple multi-user support and expanded rating and review system.

It took a few minutes to adjust to the different user interface, but lookups are fast and the UI is very responsive. Even easier to navigate on my phone than Flox.

The only downside is there isn't any way to migrate data from Flox which I find minor because I could never do anything useful with it's import/export feature in the first place. I never expected that data to be portable.

@choochus I tried it few weeks ago but the UI wasn't something I was looking for plus the over-killing it with options wasn't a good idea in my opinion either.

Still using Flox as of today, something I found problematic is that the login is not working behind a proxy manager in my case Nginx Proxy Manager.

Hi there, I'm trying to put flox back on track and I made a fork (https://github.com/Simounet/flox) with:

  • up-to-date Laravel and Vue
  • cast handling
  • multi users
  • basic review

I'm looking for user's info to understand what you are using and what I can do in the future (even if I already have a great list to deal with).

Up for @AuthorShin @choochus and @devfake . Just to be sure you saw my previous message. Have a nice day.
