rr- / Malgraph4

MALgraph is an extension of your MyAnimeList profile, showing you lots of stats, lists, favorites, and even recommendations. It works for anime and manga lists, and the more titles you have listed, the more accurate results you can expect.

As of May 2015, this is a read only repository. Forks are appreciated, but what we truly would like to see would be merging some of MALgraph features into MAL itself.

For hosting instructions, see Wiki.

Other things worth mentioning

This is the fourth version of Mg. The first one only showed the rating distribution, while its successor was a lot richer in content, but everything was presented in one overwhelming cluster of data. Mg3 had everything split into tabs, with more features and less distracting things, like humongous formulas shown in tooltips. Mg4 has a completely new caching engine and improves on its predecessor in speed, number of features, and layout clarity.

All user's data is downloaded once a day at most. After a successful download, the HTML version of all pages is cached. This ensures that MALgraph won't be a huge threat to MAL's servers - we only download the data once per 24 hours, which is a tiny fraction of an average user's browsing activity. Anime and manga data is cached too, with its lifespan depending on airing state - whether it's airing, has finished airing or isn't out yet.
