#1075858 Watch later queue

Posted by Nolonar on 23 January 2014 - 10:38 AM

Introduction

 

There are a lot of comics here I want to read and every day that number just keeps increasing.

In order to keep track of them, I open each one in a new tab and read them when I have the time to do so.

 

That's when I was thinking a Watch Later queue, similar to My Follows would be helpful.

 

 

What it's supposed to do

  • Allow the user to quickly find comics that were added to it, similar to "My Follows".
  • (optional) Keep track of the last chapter read.
  • Automatically remove comics that have been placed in My Follows.
  • (optional) Sort comics by number of chapters to help user empty the queue faster by reading shorter comics first.

 

What it's not supposed to do

  • Update when new chapters are uploaded.
  • Suggest new comics.

 

Undefined

  • Should a comic be removed from the list, if it hasn't been read by the user for a long time?

 

 

Advantages inherited from My Follows

  • Comics can be tracked cross-browser/device without having to syncronize tabs, links, or bookmarks.
  • Keeps the browser's tab bar and bookmark folder clean and clutter-free.

Advantages over My Follows

  • Prevents accidentally reading the newest chapter (containing spoilers), when new chapters are being uploaded.

 

 

This is essentially a simpler and more basic My Follows, so it shouldn't be too hard to implement.
