ao3someHi everyone. I'm working on making some bookmarklets to get practical experience using javascript.
I made a few for use just on the AO3, and the first one, Reorder Fandoms, is tested and posted, and you are all welcome to try it out and offer any feedback you like either here on on my journal.
What this does is take all the links on a fandom page, one you pick from the fandoms dropdown in the main menu, and reorder them by number of works in descending order. This is a great tool for browsing for a new fandom to read that has lots of works in it.
You can go directly to the AO3 section on my GitHub page and drag the bookmarklet (the big blue button that says Reorder Fandoms on it) to your toolbar, sidebar or folder. (Don't know what a bookmarklet is? this Firefox link gives you the basics.)
I've tested it in Firefox and Chrome, but it likely will work in new versions of IE or in Opera, Safari etc.
You must have javascript enabled in your browser. The bookmarklet should only run on fandoms pages (for however long they still look like they do now), but be prepared for a discernible lag while the script runs on the category pages with a lot of fandoms listed. There should be no interference with AO3 scripts.
If you like to browse for fandoms, give it a try.
If you really want to read all my notes on making it along with the uncompressed code, you are welcome to read all about it on my journal.
