Review: Bad - script does not work

§
Posted: 2024-03-19

Script has some issues:
* It tries to run on the home page (https://www.patreon.com/), search page, and other non-member pages.
* It tries to run on individual post pages (for example https://www.patreon.com/posts/if-you-join-but-64578985) and gets stuck on "Querying platforms, please wait..."

On Patreon, there isn't really a reliable way to detect whether the user is currently accessing a profile page or not. Fanbox, for example, graciously prefixes user pages with an @, meaning I can restrict the script to those pages, but Patreon doesn't. Using a blacklist approach (i. e. running on all Patreon pages except ones including /posts/, etc.) will always be difficult and, as mentioned, unreliable.

That being said, I did fix the "Querying platforms" bug you mentioned in the latest version (2.17.3). It should go live on Greasy Fork in a few hours.

Some patterns can be safely blacklisted: main page, search

Okay, it took a bit, but I believe I now have a reasonably complete list of URLs to blacklist. I've added them to the latest version (2.17.4). Please try it and see if there's any I missed.

Thanks, I've added the URLs to the blacklist in 2.17.5.

Script stopped working on Patreon.
(I cannot leave a comment on forgejo, it won't let me login)

Yeah, don't worry about Forgejo, I had to kind of close it down since spam accounts kept getting registered. Submitting issues here is totally fine too.

As for the issue itself, thanks for the report! I just released 2.20.1, making the script work again on Patreon.
