posted 2 days agohi, thank you for the review.
cross-device sync actually works with google drive, but the setup process can be a bit unintuitive right now. here's a step-by-step guide on how to configure it across your devices:

also, i'm currently working on redesigning the google drive login so you can authenticate directly without having to copy and share tokens between devices.
hope the guide helps get everything synced up, and let me know if you run into any issues. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 20067207, 2 months agoI really like how smooth this is on ao3. You press the checkmark or x button and it quickly marks the fic with whatever status you've changed it to and I like how unobtrusive the star rating is when you're scrolling through a list of works and the highlighting of works is cool.
When opening a fic there are buttons at the top where you can mark the status of the fic (mark as read, chapter read, do not read, re-read) and they fit really well, but maybe a little too well. I get the 'mark as read' button confused with ao3's 'mark as read' button all the time. I wish there was more visual distinction between the two before you press on them, not just after.
I like how everything is stored locally and that it offers a google doc sync option (I haven't tested that yet but I'll edit this when I do), however, I find it kind of underwhelming, especially in comparison to other fic trackers. I wish it collected more metadata and 'my notebook' had filters or tags you could apply or sort through, for example.
I haven't tried any of the premium features (i'm not really interested in highlighting fics or whatnot, but I appreciate how it's just one purchase), so I can't rate how well they work, but this does what it does well, even though I wish it did more.
