Story Repeats - on the roadmap

Website Meta Discussions Roadmap
1

Ok so this is a feature that Patrons have access to right now, but it’s in Beta and doesn’t work how I want it to work fully yet.

Basically the feature is for if you wanted to do a rewatch, for example you wanted to rewatch all of the Twelfth Doctor stories (and you should!) - it is a way to treat it as if you are tracking it again.

Here’s how I plan to do it, but really looking to get feedback:

  • It should work like the current Sets feature, except you click “repeat this set” and then it treats it as if you’ve never seen it.
  • I might make it non-automatic, so you can easily “repeat” individual stories without having to then tell it not to track the whole set again.
  • The buttons will automatically change so you can more easily and quickly click “repeat” instead of the button be to complete
  • I think instead of it being a separate area I’d want it to be merged into My Next Story so it’s all in one place? Or is that confusing?

What do you think?

That sounds like exactly how I might want it to work. My ‘next repeat’ jumps around from an audio to a TV story to a comic simply because I’m redoing stories for the threads on here, for rewatching the classic with my eldest (slowly) and for my own marathon. Being able to tell it not to track a set again would be good.

Basically what Delta said. And as someone who is very obsessive about logging my repeats, getting this feature properly redone is of improtance to me. Your plans so far sound like a major step in the right direction and would definitely make the feature work better.

It would be too confusing for me simply because I have too many on both fronts and I tend to jump back and forth randomly

This is the feature that most makes me want to become a patron. Those all sounds like great ideas!

I also would love to be able to remove a repeat. Tried to fix the wrong order in the next repeat and accidentally put another repeat on a story – it did not fix the problem.

Oh yeah that’s definitely something I plan to add :sweat_smile:

I do a lot of repeating and all those plans sound exactly what I would like. Merging repeats into next sounds fine to me because I already know what I’ve already seen, of course

It could be confusing depending on how you do it. If you ad an visual indicator it might work. But I think I prefer it to be separated.

I think I prefer my next story and the repeats to be separate, because it’s different for me when I want to experience something new vs when I want to reexperience something.
I also second the ability to remove repeats I have like one too many on one story and it bugs me so much :laughing:

Oh can you make it so that we can see the repeated count on the set page?
