Hey Peerlist 👋

I'm Samriddha, a solo dev. I built Anime Tracker over a few weeks because existing trackers felt outdated. MAL is clunky, AniList lacks alerts, and none had a Chrome extension worth using.

What animetracker.lol does:

• Smart recs: Analyzes your completed list and asks what mood you're in

• Buddy system: Add friends and recommend anime to each other (like sharing reels)

• Sequel alerts: Monthly notifications when shows you've finished get a sequel

• Series folders: All Re:Zero seasons grouped automatically

• Public profiles: Anime avatars, social links, shareable URLs (/u/username)

• Chrome extension with airing notifications from any tab

• AniList import in one click

The interesting bits if you're into the build:

• Multi-provider fallback chain (AniList → Jikan → Kitsu) so the app keeps working when an API is down

• JWT bridge between the extension and web app for shared auth

• Recommendation engine without GenAI: Just taste analysis on completed watchlist

• Mobile-first with bottom nav, scheduled Netlify functions for sequel notifications

• 104 tests, ~90% coverage, no shortcuts on the testing side

Did you think that's it? No. There's more. This is free forever. Future monetization is cosmetic packs only and no features will be locked behind paywalls. If you want to support the project, you can grab a cosmetic pack. That way, you get a fun skin and I get some donations. Win-Win.

Feedback is welcome, especially on the recommendation engine.
