  • Text !
    Text has been pretty good for me I would say,. Before, I was using a site like you to track stuff, but after a website outage that had lasted months and me thinking I had lost everything made me swear to only use local solutions from then on.

    I have made myself a sort of format in plain text track TV shows and other stuff. Obviously, It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles that the programs you are mentioning have, but it’s very flexible and I use it to track every type of entertainment that I consume (movie, books, games,…).

    Mine is a bit flawed in some ways but advantageous in others. Basically just a table of one entry per line with columna for name, my score, date, progress, status (completed, watch/reading, dropped) and comments. Since they are just simple files I can sync them between my devices with syncthing, and edit them with anything that has a text editor.

    If there is some new stat I want to track I can just add a column myself. Also have made some scripts to filter and sort enteies. (a bit unhinged)













  • When I worked with a stack Hex Casting’s stacks, it was hard to go back and edit previous parts of the program that are stored deeper in the stack. A lot of it has also to do with Hex Casting’s writing design maybe, everything is evaluated more immediately from what I remember.

    The other thing is that Trickster’s programs are tree/graph based, which makes the layout of the programs a lot easier to understand logically.
