Feedback: Adding a tab with Stats #12

Ive been thinking about programming a plugin similar to yours but with a higher focus on seeing your stats, overall and for each patch/dlc.

So i thought maybe asking if you could see this as an integrated feature in your application.

The idea is to have a tab with overall completion progression and one page for each dlc or patch.

Optionally it would be cool to have a patch specificly for the last patch to see what has been added and what you are still mmissing. this page could also tell you what quests were added and where to find them aswell as current events and their rewards (ofcourse also with a marker if you have them already)

Optionally you could introduce a function to export a stat page as a nice picture that shows all your stats and stuff so you can share it on discord.

Finally to provide even more ways to track your progress and make it more public available is to sync your collection from your locally installed plugin with ffxiv collect. FFXIv collect has a public api, tho i dont know if you can mark things as owned via public endpoints. Tho i think you could contact the dev to gain access to those endpoints. Why ffxiv collect ? Imo ffxiv collect is a good way to store your progress in, ffxiv collect reads your collection from loadestone and thus doesnt have access to blue spells, relics and more. Having it automaticly track via your plugin would be great and could then be further accessed by bots via ffxivs public api. This would completely negate the need of an own public api and centralizes data. Lala achievements seems to be also a popular choice but i dont know how open they are with their api.

So far i love your plugin and its def. handy. :3

Thanks for the feedback!

A stats tab is actually high on my todo list

Some thoughts:

  1. Page per patch is interesting, not familiar with patch data so need to see how feasible this is
  2. FFXIV collect integration - not sure about this since the plugin then acts as some data export for another site, but will keep this in mind
