Hi,
>>24417 here. Forgot my trip and I'm too lazy to try and figure it out.
It's been over a year since I mentioned anything, and about 2 years since I started working on this, so I figure I owe some kind of update on the matter.
First off, I'm a lazy shit with things to do outside of THP, which is the main reason it's taken so long.
With that said. Since I want to create an API, both so people can make their own better UIs and to allow me to play around with more stuff without potentially impacting uptime, I decided to write an OpenAPI Specification document, which forced me to really think about how I want everything to interact from an usability standpoint. That alone took ages, was boring and dry. But with that done, I have a clear idea of how everything is supposed to relate to each other, which should hopefully streamline the rest of the process. Also, because I have that document, anyone who wants to create their own UI to replace my shitty one will have a clear guide on how to interact with the API.
Current planned features includes the primary feature of being able to add stories to a personal list; the ability add specific posts to a story (this is mainly intended for contests where a bunch of unrelated stories are posted in the same thread).
Honestly, looking at it objectively, the only thing it offers that the current story list doesn't offer is the ability to track your personal reading status of a story, since the story list has gotten an update since this web app was requested. That, and the fact it's intended to be user maintained instead of relying on an admin going through everything and manually updating the list.
Whether or not this project is still desired, I intend to finish it, since it's a nice exercise in various technologies.
Also, once the project has reached a state where I'd be comfortable launching it, I intend to make it open source, because maximum transparency.

Cool. Good to know it's still happening.
I had just about considered dusting off my terrible, embarrassing Django-based attempt that's been sitting mouldering for a couple of years now.
