karanguni | 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.

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.

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

Thank you so much for this app! Putting in a small enhancement request: right now when you change the grouping on the Grouped Requests page, it doesn't impact the URL, so as far as I can tell there's no way to link to the page grouped in a certain way.

For single fandom exchanges, the default grouping of Fandom isn't useful, and we also tend to have a lot of participants who aren't very familiar with AO3 exchanges or the idea of tagsets. It would be really cool if I could link participants directly to the Grouped Requests page grouped by Relationship or Character (even if it's a string I have to manually append to the URL).

(If I'm getting greedy, it would be even cooler if the grouping defaulted to whichever is populated of Relationship or Character when there's only one fandom in the tagset. It'd also be neat if I could link people directly to the tag searching page with Category and Fandom pre-selected so they don't need to figure out how to get to character/ship searching.)

Hello! I am quite swamped right now but that's a good idea and I'll try to get it in in December!

Not automagic sadly, but the URL now contains a param for grouping: e.g. https://autoao3app.fandom.tools/#/BlackEmporium2024?groupby=Character
