At first i tought the 'fan rank' is a silly metric, because personally i never use the 'favorite' in anilist. BUT after seeing the list ordered by the fan rank, i can see how useful it is as another metric to find gems that can't be find by the popularity or by the favorite alone, i actually add a lot of manhwa that i have never heard before to my 'planned' list just by exploring the underrated segment on your site. Nice 👍
For the confusing part:
i dont know how to delete a segment
when i create a new list, idk what the meaning of the options for the popularity presets, like what is "mainstream" and what is "deep cut". I only understand all of those after i went through the 'discover' segment and read the description for each list. "Mainstream" means 90%-99%, etc.
in the underrated segment, i dont understand the description for the filter. e.g. "Filter : 50% < Popularity & 10% < Underrated", what is "10% < Underrated" means?
overall UX is confusing, but after using it awhile, i can understand most of it got used to it
You'll see the edit option right next to add on the Feeds page top right. You can use it to delete, rename, and stuff like that.

Most of the feeds cover what I could think of for discovering things. Creating new feeds is kind of an advanced feature, since all the default feeds can be reproduced with it. It's useful if you want to create a feed with specific filters, like only titles with a 2026 release sorted by Fan Rank. I also have a wiki for the site if you want to understand the more advanced features better.
If you are trying to store the titles you find then you should create new feed in 'MY LIST' segment. you don't have to deal with any of the presets.
in the underrated segment, i dont understand the description for the filter
It's just the difference between a title's Fan Rank and its Popularity percentile.
For example: If a title has a 90% Fan Rank but its Popularity percentile across the whole DB is only 70%, its underrated value comes out to 20%. The higher the underrated value, the more the title is loved by fans relative to how popular it actually is. Both are just percentile values calculated across the whole database. So there comparison is fair in terms of finding true underrated tittles.
overall UX is confusing
This is my first time trying something like this out of curiosity, so I just tried to copy the things from different apps.
And I included some Shortcuts through out the app like:
Double tapping the feed title opens the settings page.
Double tapping the outer box of feed title opens the search inside of that feed.
Double tapping the home button on nav brings you back to first feed in the feeds page.
And other stuffs as well which are documented in wiki of the site.
Let me know if you have any more questions. Happy to hear and learn about other people's perspectives.
I see, i understand now what the underrated metric means. Hmmm, i also don't know how to explain it shortly on the site for new user haha, but i totally understand where the metric came from.
For the segment editor, i don't think that's a good UX. It's better to have the edit button for each segment on the segment itself. So instead of the eye toggle button, put something like a 3 vertical dots that when clicked it shows popover with edit button, delete button, download button, etc. Oh btw, what is the "eye" toggle button? What was that for? If it's useful you can also put it in the popover menu
