Another month has gone by since my last update. No major changes just yet, but a good handful of smaller ones:
Data improvements
- Separate entries are created for different kinds of releases, even where they share the same content ID. For instance, a video where both the physical and digital releases have the same content ID will produce two releases.
- Improved conversion of runtime data.
- Improved detection of missing DVD covers.
- Fixed an issue where a director's name was recorded as
----.
UI improvements
- Thumbnails on list pages are now lazy loaded. This reduces the amount of network activity and makes it less likely that a thumbnail will fail to load because there are too many requests.
- Some images are now fetched from DMM's international CDN, which should make them load faster.
- R18.dev has included eBooks for some time now. In all honesty, I'm not entirely sure they belong on the site, but I've made a few adjustments to the eBook pages to reflect that they are eBooks rather than videos.
- The de-censorship of titles now supports a few more words.
- Improvements to placeholder images.
- The lookup box now removes any spaces from your input before searching.
- List pages now make use of your screen's full width.
- Fix the red underline for machine translated content on Google Chrome.
- Optimisation for smaller screens (e.g. phones).
- Various other styling adjustments.
In other news, I've created a Mastodon account where I'll be posting more frequent updates about changes to the site.
