New features

Choose your fan

Open Customize Home, then Customize fan to search your entries with cover art, filter by collection and select several at once, or add an image by link or upload. Your choices save to your account.

  • Removing artwork from the fan never deletes the entry or the image.
  • If a chosen entry is deleted, it simply leaves the fan, and nothing replaces it.
  • With nothing chosen, Home leaves the fan out entirely.
Where: Home → Customize Home → Cover fan → Customize fanOpen Home

Arrange the order

Number 1 sits on the left. Reorder by dragging a handle, with the move buttons, or by focusing a handle and pressing the arrow keys. The preview shows exactly how the fan will look.

Where: Home → Customize Home → Cover fan

Collection layouts

Each collection can use one of three layouts and remembers its own choice.

  • Cover gallery: the artwork-focused view you already know, and still the default.
  • Compact list: small thumbnails with the entry details lined up.
  • Information table: columns for title, labels and progress.
  • Search, filters, sorting and labels work the same in every layout.
Where: Any collection → layout switcher next to the filtersChoose a collection

Personal profile

Set a display name, a profile picture and a short motto. They appear in the account menu, in your Home greeting and on your achievement cabinet.

  • Upload a picture or paste a link, see it previewed, and use Remove picture to clear it.
  • Without a picture, your initials are shown.
  • Your profile is private, and your email is only shown to you.
Where: Account menu → Customization → ProfileEdit your profile

3D Showcase looks

Change how the 3D artwork viewer is lit and how it moves, and save the result as a preset.

  • Built-in looks: Classic, Neutral studio, Dramatic and Minimal. Classic matches the previous look.
  • Fine-tune background, lighting, reflections, glow, hover tilt, follow speed and idle sway.
  • Save your tweaks as named presets, then update, rename or delete them.
  • Reset brings Classic back at any time.
Where: Collection → Showcase → artwork → sliders buttonOpen your archive

Per-entry artwork frames

When you create an entry or edit its details, choose its frame with a live preview on the entry’s artwork.

  • Use my default follows your account frame; choosing it again removes an override.
  • No frame keeps the entry bare, even if you change your default later.
  • The frame is used wherever the artwork appears: Showcase, the 3D viewer and the flat view.
  • Existing entries keep following your account frame.
Where: Entry → ⋯ → Edit details → Artwork frameYour default frame

Five new themes

Your current theme stays as it is, and your own editor and heading colors still apply.

  • Ocean Glass: deep-sea navy with aqua and coral.
  • Crimson Night: near-black with crimson and steel.
  • Monochrome OLED: true black and white, no color.
  • Soft Sakura: light blossom pink.
  • Mint Paper: light cool mint.
Where: Customization → ThemesOpen Themes

Showcase

Showcase turns a collection into a full-screen gallery of its artwork, with nothing else on screen.

  • It shows exactly what your current search, filters and sort show.
  • Hide titles for an even cleaner wall.
  • Exit (or Esc) returns you to the library right where you were.
Where: Any collection → ShowcaseChoose a collection

Artwork viewer

Click any artwork in Showcase, or use View artwork on a library card, to see it fitted to the full screen. Zoom in, browse with the arrows, arrow keys or a swipe, and go browser-full-screen. Opening the entry itself still works as before.

Where: Showcase, or a library card → View artwork

3D cards

In the viewer, artwork becomes a 3D card: drag to turn and tilt it, pinch or scroll to zoom, and Reset view to straighten it. Switch 3D off for a flat, still view; it follows your animation setting and reduced-motion preference.

Where: Artwork viewer → 3D

Artwork frames

Pick No frame, Gilt edge, Amethyst filigree, Holographic edge or the animated Aurora trace, previewed on your own portrait and square covers. Frames appear in Showcase and the viewer, follow the 3D card as it turns, and never cover the picture.

Where: Customization → Artwork framesOpen Artwork frames

Improvements

Fan redesign

The fan deals its cards in once per visit. Hovering or focusing a card lifts it upright, scales it up and sweeps a reflection across it. Artwork stays sharp, keeps its shape and uses your frames and theme colors. The fan now also fits on phones.

  • Follows your animation intensity and hover scale settings, and stays still with reduced motion.
  • Cards are decorative and don't open entries.

Faster, steadier hover

Hover rotation follows your pointer closely, with a slightly wider lean so the card’s depth shows.

  • Movement is smooth at any frame rate, and the card glides back to rest when the pointer leaves.
  • Grabbing the card continues from where it is, without jumping.
  • Hovering the toolbar or arrows never tilts the card.
  • The tilt pauses while you’re zoomed in, so close inspection stays steady.
Where: Any collection → Showcase → open an artworkChoose a collection

Thicker, better-lit cards

Cards are thicker, with rounded edges and rim lighting that catches as they turn. A soft shadow shifts with the angle, and a gentle highlight drifts across the art without washing it out. Lighting takes its colors from your theme and frame instead of always being purple.

Where: Showcase, or a library card → View artwork

More spectacular frames

Frames are raised above the art for real depth, and No frame stays completely bare.

  • Gilt: a moving metallic sheen and glinting corner studs.
  • Amethyst: glittering facets and a crest that flashes.
  • Holographic: a rainbow film that shifts with the angle.
  • Aurora: its travelling thread plus a color-shifting curtain.
Where: Customization → Artwork framesChoose a frame

Entrances and exits

Each card glides into place as a single light sweep crosses it.

  • When you browse, the next card comes in from the side you’re heading to.
  • Reset gives a quick sweep, and closing sends the card back into the scene.
  • You can interact straight away; controls fade back while you turn the card.
Where: Showcase → open an artwork

Motion and performance

Your Motion setting and reduced-motion preference are respected.

  • Subtle shortens every animation, and Off gives a still, static inspection view.
  • Rendering pauses when the card is still or the tab is hidden.
  • The flat 2D view is unchanged.
Where: Customization → Appearance → Motion and effectsAdjust motion

Readable addresses

Collections and entries have addresses based on their names, such as /collections/anime and /entries/one-piece. Entries with the same name get a short number, like one-piece-2.

Saved links keep working

Old addresses redirect to the new ones, and renaming a collection or entry keeps its previous address pointing to it.
