[Unsupported] App Store script

irrelephant · October 22, 2017, 6:17pm

I found the greasyfork list quite helpful: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts?page=1&q=wanikani+|+WK+|+KaniWani (edited to add a couple more keywords)

But of course that list is not complete. At least Jitai is missing but out of the ~20 scripts that I have installed that was the only one that I didn’t find there.

They mean finding new scripts, not seeing the ones you have installed.

The best solution to this at the moment is to simply search for user scripts in this part of the forums. Then, you can sort by ‘most liked’ to get the most popular ones. As for your solution, I’m not entirely sure of how viable it is…

Edit: Also, this thread may be useful:

He actually wants to do better than that and try to organize a full “shop” of scripts with things like “People that installed this also installed…”, ratings, etc etc.

I don’t know how viable that idea is, but I feel that @hitechbunny really loves this type of project and wants to contribute the best way he/she can. That itself it worth giving it a try

Thanks, @jprspereira. I’d like people to be able to discover my scripts most easily, and likewise get to find out about other folks’ scripts sooner too. Long textual lists don’t work for me. I need a visual preview to get the idea. Plus, yes. I’m attracted to the idea of “Folks with X, and Y, script all just started installing plugin Z. You have X and Y too … maybe give it Z a try!”

I did some work scraping discourse to find the posts for scripts. Along the way I ranked them by most likes. Take a look!

Mempo · November 19, 2017, 8:34am

Measuring likes is only one type of metric though. Remember that the majority of scripts are ‘old’ ones (that were around before the forum had likes) and a lot of them have not garnered a proper like/popularity ratio. Another helpful metric would be to mine the amount of installs from the greasyfork links.

But if you could make the kind of Script Store that you’re proposing, you’d certainly be my hero!

hitechbunny · November 19, 2017, 10:15am

I’ve an App Store script going. Can you give it a try? See OP (edited).

rfindley · November 19, 2017, 3:13pm

Heh… I’m guessing I was swamped when this App Store script first came out, because I don’t remember checking it out, despite being tagged.

Anyway, it looks great!

jprspereira · November 19, 2017, 4:36pm

Measuring by downloads would be better in my opinion

hitechbunny · November 19, 2017, 4:50pm

@rfindley Oh. To be clear, I published this script last night after coding for hours solid.

@jprspereira Yeah. It’s hard to have a truely great ranking measure. I did give it a short, though, for the “More…” category. a single like is worth 30 installs, and a preview image is worth 300.

rfindley · November 19, 2017, 4:52pm

Ahh, well that explains it… I saw ‘28 days ago’, and didn’t notice the edits.

seanblue · November 20, 2017, 3:36am

I guess you have at least one of your other scripts adding the App Store link to the menu.

polv · November 20, 2017, 5:11am

Pretty sure some people are looking for “Recommended list”/ “Pre-compiled list,” like this one. I am not sure if there is a newer list (later than Oct '16).

hitechbunny · November 20, 2017, 5:17am

I saw that thread. I’m keen to figure out recommending scripts via the App Store. Should be doable if I can get a lot of people to install the App Store, and a lot of script authors to add the javascript hook form the OP to their scripts.

While we’re on the topic, you do have a script you wrote with a ton of installs to it… [Request Granted as Userscript] Auto-show context sentence when answered right Up for adding the javascript hook?

polv · November 20, 2017, 5:18am

The script writer is actually @nelemnaru, in the reply #4.

hitechbunny · November 20, 2017, 5:22am

Oops! Thanks for the correction, polv. This is the danger of writing code to scrape the forums. I assumed that the author of the OP was the author of the script. I’ll see about adding in a manual override to correct this for that script.

polv · November 20, 2017, 5:46am

What code language do you use to scrape the forum? Also, it would be nice if I can write a Userscript.

So far, I use Python and JavaScript. Python for I/O for *.csv files, which I use a lot for Anki export/import. JavaScript for API handling, and some styling in Anki. Anki uses HTML, CSS and Javascript.

So, so far, I know a little Python, HTML, CSS and Javascript. I would not say I have much success in programming. I would say I am successful in Anki, though.

I have no basics in computer science beside some studying in college.

damn, those screenshots look really cool

Mempo · November 20, 2017, 8:51am

you’ll probably also need some sort of blacklist, to filter out old, broken scripts. Good example would be #8 of the top installs, ‘Burn reviews’. That links to a broken script, but somewhere in the comments there’s a link to the forked and improved version by jonnydark. ([Userscript] Burn Reviews (ver 2.2.4))
