As a user with 389 tracked comics, this seems to work fine at a first glance. I do have some extra ideas, though. The later ones get rather advanced and are probably unnecessary, but somehow I don't think that comic rocket has any interest at all in improving their service or app for users.

Bug:
  1. No Rating is not sorted properly. It seems to just put them wherever.
  2. Leave broken and unindexed comics at the bottom of the page, or even optionally hide them altogether by default. I've got several dozen comics down there below all those with pages TBR, and they show up in the sorted list. I don't want to remove them because I still read them.
New Sorts/filters
  1. Unread count (var r1 = parseInt(a.attr('data-read')) - parseInt(a.attr('data-total')))
  2. Percent read (var r1 = parseInt(a.attr('data-read')) / parseInt(a.attr('data-total')))
  3. Date of last access, and date of last viewing. This would probably have to wait for local storage implementation. Probably just set the current date on new comics (ie, comics that were added from another computer), and any time a comic gets clicked. Once implemented, ability to hide comics if this date is <24h old.
  4. Add no rating to the filter, and use checkboxes, not radio buttons - I should be able to show PG+Unrated, but not NC-17 and R.
  5. hide only 1 page read (comic-rocket doesn't allow you to add a comic without marking the first page read, so this is how I set them as 'to be read')
  6. hide all pages read (this is more useful than last updated when sorted by unread pages)
New stuff
  1. Options to restyle the page
    • dump the sidebar and put comics in more than one column, with size options - css, and a screenshot at 60% zoom on .comics-item to reduce item size.
    • hide cover images (div.comics-item-body > a > img { display:none;})
    • table view (for when we don't care about who else is reading it and don't need to see images; I didn't implement this)
  2. If possible, it would also be nice to have a scripted viewer with (optional) support for arrow keys, swiping, and large forward/next buttons (or clickable margins) - I've been planning this anyways, as I have issues with the mobile client crashing multiple times during long sessions, and I don't like using the mouse when reading comics (I tend to write short userscripts for browsing on the desktop). The bookmarklets may help with this.
  3. Not sure if comic rocket's api supports this, but it would be nice to be able to manually set the number of read pages, especially for broken comics.

@Efreak Thanks for the awesome feedback! This is more than I hoped for when I spammed the UserVoice threads (something I felt a little dirty for, but am now glad I did).

Thanks for these. I'll make sure to add some of the comics in your screenshots to my test account (which has ~250 comics I added at random). If you have suggestions for more broken/no rating/unindexed comics I can add to improve my testing, I'd love to have more to test with.

I love all of these. I wholeheartedly agree with number 4 and had come to the same conclusion yesterday when I wanted to hide just NC-17 from my list at work. Number 3, as you mentioned, will likely wait until I implement local storage in the script, but I like the idea.

I definitely like the idea of being able to customize the styles, especially for users who have hundreds of comics. Number 2 seems like something that should be doable, in some fashion at least. For number 3, I like the idea and will have to think about possible ways to accomplish the goal.

I considered spamming the UserVoice threads, but it seems to me that Comic Rocket isn't interested in developing the service at all anymore. They seem to feel that they're done, even with the terrible android app (it crashes on me every ~50 pages and has apparently been taken down, and according to reviews, the ios app is/was even worse). Given all that, I felt they'd probably just ignore my comments there (as they seem to be doing to everyone else). They seem to feel that the service is complete, finished, and that there's nothing left to do except tell people they can't index scripted comics and comics that don't have traditional button layouts.

If tampermonkey evers gets itself working on firefox mobile, I'll probably be using this fairly often.
