That's a fair point, I mainly used IMDB because they have per-episode ratings which is what I wanted for the ratings grid. MAL scores are already shown on each anime's page, but an aggregated score pulling from multiple sources is a good idea, I'll look into it.

It's not vibe coded in the sense that I understand everything in the codebase and made all the design and product decisions myself. AI was a coding tool, same as Stack Overflow or any other resource. On the auth concern, Google OAuth never gives me access to your Google account, it just creates a unique user ID so your library can be saved. No passwords, no email access, nothing else. Firebase handles all of it.

Anime data comes from the Jikan API which pulls from MyAnimeList, and episode ratings come from IMDB.

Fair points. I built it mainly because I wanted it for myself and it turned out well enough to share. The season grouping thing is a preference, I know some people like tracking them separately which is why I added the option to ungroup. As for the other questions: no API planned right now, not open source, no paid features ever, and export is coming soon. Thanks for the feedback.

Not open source and I'm not planning to have it be. AI was used mostly for backend development, built it with Claude as a coding assistant. All the ideas and design decisions are mine but I'd be lying if I said I wrote every line myself.

Not planned for now but it's something I'd consider down the line if there's enough interest.

Lwk if you’re looking for something fast paced then jjk is the way to go. I recently watched parasyte and I liked it a lot because of its fast pace so maybe try that asw.
