New Website Feedback
-
On the new beta site the calander show the one your following is blank for me.
I'm using Safari on Catalina.
-
I don't think this has been reported yet.
It seems timezone of the browser is not being detected. Currently Bookworm is listed for release on Tuesday in the calendar. I assume that is according to its UTC release time and not my EDT (Mon 7pm) release time.
-
@chocolatkey The beta site has a new page for purchasing credits that I hadn't noticed before, but it isn't showing the cyber monday deal. Maybe consider re-enabling the redirect to the old site for the duration of the sale.
-
@Nosgoroth If you use the beta site to buy credits, it will be at the sale price. Just tried it with 1 credit. I've noticed this before, when the beta site showed premium members as regular, it would say $7/credit on the site, but you would only be charged $6 in the end. No one needs to trust me though...just use the old site for now.
Either way the price text probably needs to get set as a variable or something instead of the fixed values.
-
Not a big deal but these may need to be deleted.
-
In the old site the time in the Release Page and the side bar is based from the local time.
But in the Beta Site the calendar is based from the Server Time.
I don't know if this is meant to be like this or not but it would be good if it would still use the local time so users won't need to compute for the time of release.

Is downloading epubs in the beta website supported yet? All I get is an error message
{"error":{"name":"TypeError","status":500,"message":"Cannot read property 'userId' of null"}} -
@LegitPancake
It's supported already. I've tried downlading in the Beta Site before and it worked. -
@LegitPancake the download problem has been fixed

Hello, I have been trying to use the
https://labs.j-novel.club/feed/user/<USER ID>.<rss|atom|json>with
https://labs.j-novel.club/feed/user/manusdei.rss
https://labs.j-novel.club/feed/user/ManusDei.rss
https://labs.j-novel.club/feed/user/@ManusDei.rss
https://labs.j-novel.club/feed/user/@manusdei.rssto use my "own" rss feed. It doesn't work, what did I do wrong and how to I get my id ?
Adding on the todo list a way to access prepub on kindle or another e-ink reader would be great :)
Still, the beta website is much more user friendly than the original one, great work there
Does the .json feed not work? I'm able to visit */feed/user/<user-uuid>.rss but <user-uuid>.json brings up a blank page with a "418 error (I'm a teapot)" (error reported per DEV tools)
-
@wolfpack I just checked, and I am able to use https://labs.j-novel.club/feed/user/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.json just fine. 418 would mean does not match the route, which is
/user/{id:[0-9a-f]{24}}.json -
I like the beta version of the site. I just have two minor problems with the calendar, I'm sorry if it was already here. But whenever I go to the calendar, there are four days missing, today is the tenth of December, but I don't see it until the fourteenth of December. And then if I select the option "Followed Titles Only " it will not show me all that I follow (I follow the ones underlined in red) but only some. I also tried to remove some titles from the following and add them again, but that didn't help.
And it wouldn't be bad to be able to go from the library directly to the main page of the series. I often find myself trying to click on the rectangle with the words "Novel" or "Manga" next to + with the hope that it will redirect me to the main page of the series. 
-
I think it would be good to have a "last updated %Date% " beside each volume you own in your library. so you know if you have updated to the latest version of the book it is the one thing i have a hard time keeping track of for sure.
-
I'd love to see a status entry at the top of a series page (i.e. "volume x in prepub", "waiting on next volume", "on hiatus (see forum)", etc.) as there've been a few titles recently where I never even knew the series was on hold because of health issues.
-
Under the user downloads page on the beta, the Arifureta SS volume is mislabeled as volume 11 while volume 11 (which comes out tomorrow) is labelled as volume 12.
-
The calendar page is showing titles on the wrong day for release I believe.
-
A suggestion on the title page.
I would separate or at least add a separate button to see just hiatus titles.
-
Ascendance of a Bookworm numbers the books as "Book X part Y", but in the Beta website whenever I go to my account books are numbered as Volume Z with Z being unrelated.
For example, Book 3 part 3 is numbered as Volume 9.
It's a bit confusing, I think having "Book X part Y" everywhere would be much better :) -
Hello!
Thank you for taking the time to give feedback regarding the beta website, for the sake of consistency I moved your post into this topic for feedback on the beta website.
Thank you once again!

I've noticed some regressions in the beta calendar since last time I checked it out, about a month ago:
- Many of the dates are repeated, which was pointed out a few days ago. This is leading to some releases being listed under the wrong date. I think it has something to do with time zones, because releases after 18:00 consistently get moved to the next date block for me (central time zone).
- The date lines in the calendars are now links. This isn't an issue on a computer, but on mobile the link area takes up the entire width of the phone, making it easy to accidentally press while intending to scroll. And the link only leads to itself: you already need to be at the date to click the link, so I'm not sure why they need to be clickable anyways.
- There are no more links for releases that have not released. I'm pretty sure there used to be links for all entries into the calendar, but now they only exist for items already released.
