Exchange Apps

[karanguni]

I code apps for fandom exchanges because the AO3 interface is atrocious.

Automagic App Generator

Exchanges can generate their own apps automatically via https://autoao3app.fandom.tools.

If you want to search for requests across all exchanges, use https://autoao3app.fandom.tools/#/everything.

Fun stats from the aggregated database: overall numbers and top 100 fandoms by requests

Bugs?

Please leave a comment here, stating which app/exchange, what the bug is, and steps I can take to reproduce it. It helps if you leave me your browser type, but I don't necessarily need it. Thanks! :)

Requests

If your exchange operates in a way that needs more features in the app, please leave a request here detailing what that might mean!

I currently only code standalone apps for Yuletide. If you are a mod who needs non-app code, feel free to DM me here or on Discord.

Caveats

Apologies in advance if I am slow in responding: I generally am not fandom active except around the Yuletide season. Thanks for understanding!

Known Issues

Nothing major at the moment.

Announcements

Due to AO3 rate limiting changes as of 24 Feb 2025, scraping might be unsuccessful more often, but should still work eventually.

Hey! This is a minor thing and there's no rush, but I wonder if there's some way to have the app ignore diacritics in fandom names? Right now it's hard to find the cnovel fandoms (this is an issue on AO3 as well). I'm thinking of cases like:

魔道祖师 - 墨香铜臭 | Módào Zǔshī - Mòxiāng Tóngxiù
or
二哈和他的白猫师尊 - 肉包不吃肉 | Èr Hā Hé Tā De Bái Māo Shī Zūn - Ròu Bāo Bù Chī Ròu

In order to find the fandom on the app, I have to type a set of letters that show up in order, and for both of these fandoms, that includes diacritics. It'd be nice if typing "Modao Zushi" also pulled up "Módào Zǔshī."

If this isn't possible, I absolutely understand! I don't know how easy it would be to implement, and if it's non-trivial that don't worry about it.

Yeah, that is super annoying. I'll look into it tonight! Didn't have the capacity to fix it during Yuletide, but now's the time!

♥ thank you so much!

This is now in place for Chocobox2020.
