fanfiction.net has also simply broken the Calibre FanFicFare integration thanks to their CloudFlare shenanigans.
The workaround is to simply visit all chapters separately and then point Calibre at the Google Chrome cache folder.
So nice going there, fanfiction.net. Instead of offering a 1-click .epub download like AO3 (which is completely CDN-able with a very long TTL), you now had to serve 50 individual requests. Great engineering work there.
(Obviously they do this to serve ads on every request)
- tzs 5y agoI would really like to see a fan fiction site that combined AO3's ease of downloading with Fanfiction.net's organization.
- ThePadawan 5y agoAO3 is OSS and vastly understaffed. Having worked on some of their tickets, IMO they could use 20 contributors working part-time for a year or two to stabilize it until the idea of useful new features becomes viable. I strongly encourage anyone with Rails experience to contribute [0]. There is a giant test suite which definitely helps with stability. The ticket time-to-resolve is simply quite slow due to the above-mentioned understaffing, so don't be discouraged! [0] https://github.com/otwcode/otwarchive/ https://github.com/otwcode/otwarchive/
