Haha! Well, that's true in a way. However, there's not much difference between searching for a bookmarked website in a net browser and navigating your desktop or menu to launch a local app. ~,^
Good luck then. ~,~' I only know C (along with several other procedural languages). I have trouble grasping object-oriented programming, but I will keep trying to learn C++.
Feel free to talk shop with me from time to time. Who knows? I might even be able to help somehow. ^o^
Being able to share a link to your MAL profile was one of my implied points regarding the social factor. :)
Clicking on the plus sign besides the episode count of any entry on your online list will increment the episode count. You only really need to type the number if you've watched more than two or three episodes more than what you have currently listed. ^,^
Thanks for the info about Qt. Does that mean you're comfortable programming in C++?
Beholder is an interesting project. Sadly, I can't really help as I don't even know what Qt is. (Honestly, it sounds like "quicktime" to me.) ^,^'
I hope you don't mind that I'll be sharing some of my past musings anyway.
The main feature of MAL, the ability to maintain lists, is a bit of a mess. People misuse the tag field because the comments field cannot be shown as one of the columns. The rating scale is skewed because there is no clear policy and even if there were, many will likely still insist in using their own rubricks. A spreadsheet would be more tedious, but might do a better job in manually tracking our titles. Also won't be restricting our entertainment media to anime and (officially published) manga. We could include games, books, comics, cartoons, etc.
We visit MAL anyway due to the social nature of the lists. Unlike an isolated local copy, we can compare and contrast what we have finished, what we are watching, and what we are anticipating with others. That's why it's usually annoying to deal with those who claim they feel too lazy to update their lists. Lists are a time-saver (for both sides) so we won't have to wade through possibilities and instead go right ahead and discuss what common experiences.
I've never seen the MAL updater app in action. Does it have that significant socializing aspect? If not, then it's like an "anti-purpose" engine! :s
