I was really happy to see the panel at AX Lite! I've always hoped for MAL to make some type of official appearance at AX or more cons like this!

But what was up with the giveaway? Was it mentioned at the beginning of the video when there were audio problems and not everyone could hear it?;;
Congrats to the winners though!

EDIT: Oh! I see! It was on the slide. I couldn't see the slide too well and was busy trying to see if it was my audio that was bugging, so I must have missed it.

The livestream was removed from YouTube.......

Now I'm curious to see the MAL panel

What did they talk about??

Sorry that it's not up!

The MyAnimeList panel was hosted by YumioSF, Kineta, and Xinil conducted in a style in which they each took turns elaborating on each section of the presentation.

Sadly, I couldn't really hear the first part with Yumi much at all due to audio issues. I only got some of Yumi talking about her experience with anime, but for the rest of the panel, it was pretty much about what MAL is, its origins, the community events MAL has to offer (MALentines, MALoween Mansion, etc.), some MAL tips and tricks, 'apply to be a mod' pretty much, an upcoming new moderator position, the new API, a few other upcoming features, and the assurance that there's more to come for MAL in the future. In addition, there was a short Q&A segment. There was also a giveaway for MAL Supporter subscriptions. People were able to participate in the giveaway through QR/forum or through Twitter. At the end of the panel, the winners were announced!

In short, I think the first part was more of an introduction to MAL, and the last part was more of MAL's future.

I totally think I'm missing something. I was watching on a tiny phone screen with some problems here and there, so I probably wasn't able to catch everything. I think that's the gist of it though!

welp a MAL friend of mine message me a youtube video about the AX panel it was recorded by someone and posted unlisted on youtube so im not gonna share this here

Xinil mentions that the 2018 MALpocalypse happened partially because of GDPR eh no wonder

Kineta brings that good hidden feature of the list history too which is nice

damn no native dark theme plans still though lol Kineta mentions because of many different page layout that MAL has it will take sometime to make one err i dont know since even the Stylus/Stylish developers can do a dark mode and with only 1 developer i think

and ye the MAL mobile apps are coming too late 2020 for those that really want that

So feature-minimal in what sense exactly? Just the information for the shows and maybe some user features like updating bookmarks? So no things like relations between characters and voice actors? And what about things like franchise relations, like prequels, sequels, OVAs, etc.? I assumed from reading the title that the API would be "finished" by then. I'll probably check the official documentation (I hope that's done atleast) when the API is available. Thanks anyway.

After looking at the API, it appears there's no way to request a users public anime list without first having the user complete the authorization flow?
This seems pretty unreasonable, as it's only accessing public available information for the user. It'll also grant the application additional unneeded access to the users account, with can be abused and therefore will require the user to have a higher truest in the app.

(Also why aren't the API documentation not public available and requires you to sign-up for it before even being able to view the docs?)

Not quite. It requires a user to have completed the auth flow, but it looks like any user can request any other user's list (presumably as long as it's public).

So presumably an app could browse user lists with only their creator's account, or a dedicated app account on MAL.

As far as I could tell, every endpoint needs auth, which is bummer. Why do I need to complete the auth flow in order to access public info? .___.

App & API are not the same thing. The official apps are not out yet.

An exact release date has yet to be announced. Once we have one, we'll inform everyone.

To be specific, they announced a NEW app. They already have an app, from 2018, that was removed from the store shortly after release. It still works to do this, for people that already have it. But it's bare. I switched to PocketMAL once they got into the beta for the API a few months ago and honestly am perfectly content. Only things I'm missing on PocketMAL are being able to see more details information on shows/cast such as theme songs and what not. Hoping the new app is very feature-full

You can find it on "API" tab on edit profile menu. It's not much of an API yet tho, and I dont think you really need it if you dont know what API means.
