Yet Another PWA JNC Client
-
@Crimson-Wise Had any time to devote to this? I miss using your reader.
-
@Crimson-Wise I've added them. The cloudfront images will slowly be disappearing, but are definitely still around at the mometn
-
Hope it's working again soon. This is the only way I read novels from here since I find the app too inconvenient to use. ^^;
-
@chocolatkey thanks! It works!
@sorvani yup, see below.
So I got most things working again. To update, it's a PWA with updates in the background so the easiest is,
- Open the page.
- Wait 30 seconds or so. The new version will be downloaded in the background.
- Close the page, and open it again. The new version should be live this time, it should also list version
v241017.b14fc0cin the account button.
AFAICT, the only issue I can find is that some images don't get cached for offline reading. I'm also doing some workaround to identify expired parts that may not be perfect.
Quof got a break.
WHAT'S THE STORY WITH THAT FREAKING BLACK DRAGON?! -
Good to see this up again. Unfortunately some of the titles are incorrectly showing as expired, I'm not sure if this is an issue with incorrect dates in the back end or how they're handled in the PWA.
This months are shown as expired despite it being extended until the 22nd plus some of next months expiries including
Young Lady Albert volume 8
Invincible Summoner volume 3
Seventh volume 9
Apothecary Diaries volume 12
Lucia and the Loom volume 2
Poison King volume 2All of these are accessible in the Jnovel app and on the website.
-
@sniper_samurai you're right, was calculating the whole thing incorrectly. The new version (see the aforementioned upgrade instructions) should handle it better, except for those to expire on the 22nd.
As for those delayed, and using Blacksmith v9 as an example, it appears as Expired in the JNC website, but it's still live if you click in the parts. Need to see what's happening there, looks like a hack somewhere.
-
@Crimson-Wise The reading history only remembers up to 1 month ago. I don't know if it's because of the update or a separate issue.
PS. I was without the APP for so many days that several series expired. I'm going to cry in a corner.
-
@atorbites This months titles have had their expiry extended until the 22nd, you'll need to read them on the website or the official app though.

I have no reading history prior to a month ago in the JNC app, so I assume that is old history that they have not migrated yet. Not a problem with this reader.

@sorvani yup, see below.
Awesomeness, thanks for your work on this.
-
Indeed, the lack of progress information is on JNC's side, so hopefully they are able to finish the migration soon.
As for those volumes with delayed expiration on the 22nd, I've now just hard-coded the date on my app.
-
Could you do something to highlight the difference between manga and LN volumes in the list? While the title normally says Manga, it is not viewable on a small screen.

Hopefully they do. Reader engagement has to be a metric they want to keep, right?
There are some series I want to catch up on, but now I don't even know what volumes I've read. Not to mention books I've read but not chosen to subscribe to.
My progress on the official app from the last few days isn't there, either, so they might not be using the new system themselves.

@Crimson-Wise said in Yet Another PWA JNC Client:
@sorvani - gave it a try, there is now a small "M" indicator in case of Manga.
That is going to be a great help, thanks a ton for taking the suggestion.
-
Hmm... Sometime over the past few days the official site started posting new progress where API 2.0 can see it, but older progress still isn't in there. Really wishing I had kept that someplace else now.
Is there a migration completion petition?

I did some changes to the app that I think it should add support for the new reader memberships (to get the latest version refresh the page once, wait a bit, refresh again.) But I don't intend to migrate to any of them at the moment so don't really know. Let me know if it doesn't work.

I changed my plan to the Premium Club this morning and I have been using your reader all day without any issues. I only use your app to read pre-pubs. I use it on PC and iPhone.
-
@sorvani Thanks! I'm currently in the legacy Premium subscription and it works, so I think reading prepubs should be fine.
What I'm less certain of is regarding access to the reader library. Long story short, JNC's API doesn't really said which parts the user can actually read. So I have put instead a set of rules for that: is it preview, has the volume been bought, is it a Club membership and the part hasn't expired, etc. Also put a rule for the reader library, but can't test it myself.
-
Not on Reader so I cannot help you there.
But, I did just notice the "Expires Soon" note. I like it.
