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.

I've noticed it twice with the prompt one and once on the main and that's when I realized it was a re-scrape issue since it happened to be shortly after a re-scrape.

I don't remember all the ones that showed wrong prompts vs just saying there were none iirc Word of Honor had wrong ones while Guardian (TV) and Untamed claimed to have none. If it happens again, I'll pay more attention.

eta- the prompt one was re-scraped 30 minutes ago and now of the 7 fandoms I bookmarked only Original Work which is giving me a prompt but it's from another fandom (peasina's prompt that has "Any/Any (MONTERO)" as the pairing, no idea what fandom that is). All the others (like Any Fandom I requested before and MCU, which definitely have prompts) show as "No prompts ):"

Thanks! Do you happen to know if the Battleship_2021 tagset is still in flux and getting added to...? That's all I can think of – that between scrapes more fandom tags are getting added and throwing the indexing off D:

[donutsweeper]

Yes, I think they're accepting noms to the tagset so people can add new things to the prompts collection.

[karanguni]

Yeah, that'll do it - normally tagsets are fixed once an exchange opens so the fandoms don't move around. I'll see what I can do later this afternoon!

[donutsweeper]

TY! And thanks for all your hard work with these apps, they're amazing!!

[karanguni]

Righto, I've deployed what is hopefully a fix that (also hopefully) won't wipe your bookmarks out. Let me know if things are working!

[donutsweeper]

Thank you! Next time there's a rescrape I'll let you know what happens.

[donutsweeper]

Just checked and it loaded without issue after a rescrape. All my bookmarks are there and have the correct prompts. Thanks!! :)

[karanguni]

Hooray!
