Comic Vineyard v1.0: Manage your comic collection with Comic Vine

• Comic Vineyard Online: render your list online without installing anything.
• My Comic Vineyard: an example of the current output, using my Comic Vine list.

I think one of the computer nerds on comic vines side will have to give you a readout of the server strain something like this would add when you consider that over 9000 people could be using it at the same time. I mean pretty rare occasion but again it's something an analyst would have to look at to see if it would make any real world impact on the site itself. I definitely will try and grab my list next time I visit the rents and give this bad boy a try. Thumbs up for creating something very rad.

Cool checking this out now.

Someone should do as standalone app. If API of CV is sweet, whe could write a simple app for win/mac/lin.

Very nice

This is fantastic, thanks so much!!!

This is kinda cool.  I've been using the CV Lists feature to list my collection, and this works near-perfect with those.  I have to tweak the way I put one-shots in there - I usually link right to the issue page, instead of the volume page - what's the point of a volume page with a one-shot? 
 
Also, if I have more than one copy of an issue, the comicvineyard doesn't read it.  For instance, with Blood Syndicate, I have two copies of #19, so on my list, I typed "19(2)."  I have to tweak that so it reads #19, but will it render two copies if I put in "19, 19"? 
 
Last thing: I have multiple lists for my collection - for instance, this was my "Milestone" list.  My DC collection is broken up into categories.  Can I render as many lists as I want, or do I have to have it all on one list for comicvineyard?  That would get very... unweildy... espeically having to wait each time for it to grab info on each title. 
 
EDIT: I lied, one more thing: in no way being critical, because I have no knowledge of writing applications, but if I'm making the list on CV anyway, why do I want to use comicvineyard?  I now have the list - does that make sense? 
 
EDIT: Okay, I'm just going to keep adding as I have more: I like that it puts the whole series in front of me, instead of splitting it up every twenty issues.  That's convenient if I'm just looking for a certain issue real quick.  I like how the covers go to the issue pages too.  Okay, I'm seeing advantages to this.  Some way of not having to wait every time would eventually be nice, since you asked in the OP.

 To respond to your edits: 
 
For me, a Comic Vine list, by itself, lends nothing more exciting than my previous way of managing my collection: a single text file with "Batman|3|600-615" (Batman, location 3, issues 600 through 615). If I specify just the volumes (as Comic Vineyard has you do), then the image I see is the first issue of the volume which isn't representative of any issue I actually have. The link to the volume itself just shows me every possible issue and not the ones I own, again, making it worthless. It serves no advantage of the text file I had before. Now, if I made a Comic Vine list that included items for every issue I had, it defeats the other purpose of Comic Vineyard: speed of data entry. If I had 5000 comics, I'd have to hit 5000 pages on Comic Vine and make 4 clicks for every addition. That's pretty painful. Even when finished, I'd have a 100 page Comic Vine list (50 comics per page) which would be nigh-near impossible to keep sorted with any semblance of speed. Again, not a solution I'm hoping for.  
 
As for "waiting", yeah, I have various ways around it that I can work on, but they're pretty "about face"ish from the original approach of the script, so I'll likely want to solidify things first before working on the speed and cache. And if there's no real big clamor for it, I might not even worry about it at all.

" @Morbus: The one-shot problem is on my end - I link to the issue page instead of the volume page.  I can just change that - no biggie (except that I've got about 40 lists to do that on - lol).  Rendering multiple lists as one C'vineyard list is pretty cool.  Nice idea. :) "

"I wouldn't go nutty changing all your lists just yet - I'd rather a) fix the underlying bug [which causes a broken image/link when you link to your one-shot issue] and b) figure out if I can accept issues in a list and still render/group them the right way. It's "easier" for me to fix one script than it is for you to go around fixing forty lists ;) "

How do you do variants? I'm trying to include the Bachalo variant of New Avengers #54, but I don't know the correct syntax. Thanks!

In any case, this rocks - yay! Love it - a good approach. I look forward to seeing it get better and better. :)

i started with the list, but how do you put down that i have a variant cover for certain issues. also, how do you end up having it come out like he does in the end?

Wow. This is insanely impressive. Fan-freaking-tastic job. 

also, can you add trades to the list?

my list is 5 pages long, can you only do one page at a time on the comic vineyard or can you do all of the pages at once?

This is great. Having the covers is another great way to quickly identify what you own but like some have said it is a shame there is no support for displaying variant covers. I can easily live with this as I think this will prove to be a very handy app to have. I'm looking forward to seeing what new features are added to it.
