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.

bugs: there's a whole bunch of fandoms I can't bookmark. This seems to be somewhat arbitrary, sometimes I can successfully bookmark them in one exchange but not in another. (most recently I was not able to bookmark Jane Austen's Persuasion, but it's happened with a bunch of fandoms). I click on the heart but nothing happens (ie the heart doesn't change color and the fandom doesn't get added). This will happen even as I continue to be able to bookmark other fandoms on the same page.


requests: for those of us who are just lurking around looking for something to treat, is there any way to see all requests for a single specific fandom across all already-scraped exchanges?

just for a bit more info to help replicate, I wasn't able to bookmark Persuasion - Jane Austen Books & Literature in the battleship2021 collection. (I'm basically going through each collection adding bookmarks to any fandoms I'm interested in, so it's happened in multiple exchanges across multiple fandoms, just this last one is when I decided to report)

Thanks, I'll look into this after work!

Re: bookmarks - this should be fixed, but you might have to unbookmark fandoms before rebookmarking them if the bug previously let fandoms "travel" across exchanges. Give the app a refresh and let me know if that works out for you!

Re: requests for single fandom across all exchanges - alas, no. The Filter search box on the Grouped Requests tab doesn't clear out when you change exchanges via the dropdown, so that's the poor man's version way of doing it right now. I think at the end of the year I'll make a 2021 version that combines everything scraped in this past year into a megasearchable version :)
