[READ THIS FIRST] List of Planned Features/Changes/Tweaks

[kouyo]

Below is a unsorted list of upcoming features and changes. Please keep in mind that while these are currently planned, things may change in the future and we could drop plans for a feature. MangaDex is a volunteer effort and developing a website is really complicated, so please be patient.
Please avoid creating new threads for these suggestion. Instead bump/upvote the original thread to keep everything in one place.

If your suggestion isn’t listed here:
a) The implementation of the feature is impossible due to technical limitations.
b) We may not be able to support it due to other reasons.
c) We haven't decided if the feature is worth the effort adding.
If you're unsure, ask in the respective thread about the status of your suggestion. If no specific thread exists for your feature, feel free to create one.

This list will be updated with every site update, and irregularly if no update has been released.
