[Feature Request] SIMKL Anime Integration For Watch History Synchronization #113

Description

@Azmarine13

First of all, thank you for creating and maintaining Animeta.

I've been exploring the platform and really appreciate the concept behind it.

The focus on recording anime viewing history, personal reviews, and maintaining a detailed viewing log makes Animeta a unique and valuable resource for anime fans.

The clean interface and emphasis on personal anime records make it very enjoyable to use.

Suggestion

Would it be possible to consider adding optional SIMKL integration in the future?

Since Animeta already allows users to maintain detailed anime viewing records, SIMKL integration could help users synchronize their watch history and progress across multiple services.

Potential Benefits

Import Existing Anime Libraries

Users joining Animeta could import their existing anime history and progress from SIMKL instead of manually rebuilding their records.

Backup & Data Portability

Many users track anime across multiple platforms. SIMKL synchronization could provide an additional backup of viewing history and episode progress.

Cross-Platform Tracking

Some users track anime, TV series, and movies together. SIMKL supports all three categories, making it easier to maintain a unified watch history.

Easier Migration Between Services

Optional import/export functionality would allow users to move their anime records more easily while still enjoying Animeta's review and logging features.

Possible Integration Areas

  • SIMKL OAuth account linking
  • Import anime watch history
  • Export viewing progress
  • Synchronize watched episodes
  • Synchronize watching/completed/planned status
  • Optional manual or automatic synchronization

Developer Resources

Of course, I completely understand if this is outside the current roadmap or priorities of the project.

Thank you again for creating Animeta and providing such a useful platform for anime fans to record and manage their viewing history.

And thank you for taking the time to consider this suggestion.
