Exchange Apps

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.

Hi karanguni, first thank you so much for your efforts in this APP. It has been so useful to use, and I really appreciate your hard work. It says in this post that we can leave suggestions for features that might be useful for the APP.

Since the APP has an option to search everything, I was wondering if there was a way to incorporate a 'randomizer' option that would look in the database of data collected and based off filters we choose (fandom and ship probably being easiest, perhaps also filtering years if you only want old prompts from say 2020), it gives us a random prompt from a previous exchange?

Kind of like a combination of the existing "Search everything" functionality with a button you can click that would just automatically pick a prompt for you rather than scrolling through the prompts.

More details in this discord convo here:

Thank you for your consideration!
