    You are now able to set private notes and private tags for novels in your reading list. No one other than you can see these notes/tags. You'll also be able to filter novels using the tags, ratings, genre and other settings.

    [​IMG]
    From the screenshot shown above...
    1. Tags should be separated by a coma. Tags are case sensitive.
    2. Insert notes for the novel. You can add whatever you want but there's a 10k character limit.
    3. If the notes icon has a background, that means either tags or notes already exists for this novel.
    4. Toggle filter panel.
    [​IMG]
    • Search Series – Type in parts or the full name of the novel you’re looking for.
    • Private Tags – These are private tags you set. The tags are case sensitive. The number that appears inside the parentheses is the number of times the tag appears in your current reading list.
      • “OR” – Show novels which contains ANY of the tags.
      • “AND” – Show novels which contains ALL of the tags.
    • Genre – The novel’s genre.
      • “OR” – Show novels which contains ANY of the genre.
      • “AND” – Show novels which contains ALL of the genre.
    • Private Rating – Your private rating for the novel. This is NOT the novel’s rating.
    • Misc – You will be able to find novels with no private ratings, no private tags or no private notes.
    Just in case you didn't read what was inside the spoiler above, the number which appears inside the parentheses is the number of times the tag appears in your current reading list. Also, the filter only works with you current reading list.

    To make room for this new feature, I had to move the "I've read the latest chapter" icon. It's been moved to the upper right corner of your chapter listing as shown below.

    I know the last feature was three months ago but I'm still updating NU! I've been really busy so you haven't seen any big features from me lately. I'm usually updating little things related to the backend or small fixes I don't announce but since no one really gets to see that, it's really boring so I figured I should release something that you can actually "see" :blobokhand:

    While I'm here, you should totally follow @NU Status Bot for updates. You'll get an alert each time a status is posted.

    Anyways, please let me know if you run into any bugs and I'll do my best to fix them ASAP!

    Edit #1: If you dislike this feature, you can disable it by going to your Reading List -> Global Settings (Top right) -> "Disable Reading List Notes" -> Save

    Nice way of promoting blob translation.
    Suggestion: Pay @Tony to promote a certain group whenever he updates new feature :blobokhand:

    This seems good. Thank you for your hard work.

    I feel like the three lines in the box don't really give me an "unread chapter" feel though. Maybe it's just because there is now always at least one button there but it's harder to tell at a glance. I'm kinda glad the caught up button is moving though. I've accidentally hit it more than a few times.

    I was not expecting the face lift when I opened my reading list. Not sure how much use I'll have for it... Well, I guess some stories I've wanted to take notes in. We shall see how it turns out.
    Thanks for always trying to make things better.

    I got that feeling too... I wish the three lines were a bit less easy to blend into the background.

    The yellow book had a catchy color, so it was easily noticeable at a glance... At the same time I'm glad it was changed to something a bit more intuitive than the book was.

    I think I'd be happy if Tony-chan just changed the color of those 3 lines to make them stand out more.

    is it possible to set it to the way it was before?
    (not really a note taker and kind of makes it inconvenient for my style of using the site)

    uh ... where is that recycle icon thingy?
    Today is the first time I click on that 3 lines icon. I might click on the wrong one or is it not on mobile?

    edit: okay found it. This is one neat feature.
    Do you know that for all this time I manually add them when I review a novel. And I just found out what's that check box next to released chapters do. It's updated the to the latest chapters! Feel like a caveman just found out what's that stick in his cave do it's a frickin hunting rifle! I can stop using a stick to hunt a trex now.

    There is hardly any difference though? At most, you need to click twice instead of once to show that you read the latest chapter.
    I think the three lines are better because the book was very non-intuitive, but they do lack some color...

    Would it be possible for the icons to be changed to more visually distinct ones? The old icons had color and stuff, but now the two icons look pretty similar to each other at a glance and are grey on white (or light grey on black, for me who uses apps to darken the website color scheme).

    I also second the notion that it's now easier to accidentally hit the I've read the latest chapter button when on mobile. I'm not sure what you want to do about that. Maybe a undo button that makes it roll back to whatever it was before?
