Important Notes
- LocalStorage based Highlighting: Highlighting of tracked works uses LocalStorage, which helps prevent excessive requests to the AO3 server to avoid being rate-limited.
- Export/Import Feature: This script includes an export and import feature for your tracked fanfics, ensuring your data is easily transferable.
- Sync with Bookmarks: A feature to sync LocalStorage with bookmarks is on the way, enhancing the tracking capabilities across devices.
- Untagging Behavior: When untagging a status on a bookmark created by the script, a decision is needed on how to handle the removal to avoid hoarding empty bookmarks with no tags. Work in Progress...
