Sup, I've been working on this project for the past few months and now it's finally finished. It's a MyAnimeList-based anime recommendation system written in Rust. It's still being trained on the background as I've only started the training today in the morning, so tomorrow, the results you get can change.

You can try it out here: https://anote.asudox.dev

Please give feedback!

Congrats on finishing your project. Great concept, it looks very clean and my eyes appreciate the black background.

Would it be possible to generate the titles of the anime that go a long with the thumbnails? I ask because some of the thumbnails are in Japanese script, so I can't tell what whats being recommended unless I click the image.

Yeah sure. The data is already there, I just left that part out since I thought images would be better looking. WIll add them tomorrow!

Great to hear it, will bookmark the site!

Done. When you hover over the anime cards, the titles will now appear. I am also planning on adding the media type and maybe genres in the future the next time I decide to retrain it as adding a genres column to the table would require all of them to be readded

Thank you for adding the feature so quickly and explaining how it works!

I love the idea of genres because sometimes you can be in the mood for watching certain types of anime or wanting to exclude others, this would make the filtering process easier. Keep up the great work.

No problem. Though since it was "quick", it seems like I didn't do it well and the title overlay and stuff can be messy on different resolutions. Mobile (<800px) is unaffected. I'll try to fix that as well.

If it does not require lots of new code, sure I guess. I have to also check how their API and animelists work.

blazingly fast

It's only giving me stuff I've already seen

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

That is a problem another user pointed out. I'll try what I can do. Thanks for trying it out.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Nice, thank you, got my star!

Will be using this soon to find a new anime to watch :D

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Cloudflare gives an error 525 btw.

But then if I reload, it works for some reason?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Sorry for the ssl error. It started to happen more often recently. I'll check the server to see what I can do about it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Should be fixed now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Does it not work if I havent rated animes?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Yes. You need to rate them. Otherwise it won't work.
