Features
This userscript adds queue navigation, similar images search, similar artists search, newest images that user might like, some keyboard shortcuts and visual notifications to Derpibooru.
User can add images to queue from image thumbnails and navigate to the next image in the queue by pressing ‘e’.
When viewing a single image user is given thumbnails of images that are similar to current image. Spoilered tags and hided tags are spoilered and hided respectively. More similar images may be fetched using a provided button.
When viewing an artist tag image listing the user gets a list of similar artists.
User can access highlighted images from top-right menu. This view contains newest images that are similar to users profile.
When viewing a single image user can press ‘1’, ‘2’ or ‘3’ to toggle fave, upvote or downvote respectively on current image. A visual notification is displayed.
Known Issues (v. 1.6.0)
Templates used by Derpibooru Explorer generate CSP warnings due to use of ‘unsafe-eval’.
Dataset is not real time and most updates to it are only partial.- First recommendation is often same as the current image/artist.
- Newest images won’t get any similar images and won’t show up in similar images lists. Same applies to artist similarity.
Recommendations list doesn’t provide all the Derpibooru functionality. - Number of comments is not displayed.
- Spoilers display a list of spoilered tags instead of image spoiler.
- Images behind spoilers cannot be inspected with mouse hover or click.
Keyboard shortcuts do not guarantee that the action was successful - The notification is displayed even if the action fails.
Highlights could be better - No pagination.
- Might not work well if user has low number of faves.
- Update only every few days
Privacy Policy
Recommendations are based on public data fetched from Derpibooru API and on performance data collected from users of tiuku.me API.
All users are given a session token. This token, along with requests and responses related to it, are saved by tiuku.me and are used for evaluating and improving tiuku.me service.
Session tokens expires when user logs in, logs out or is logged out automatically. User’s local storage is used for storing session token and username to provide this functionality.
Local storage is also used for storing other state information of this script, like the state of the image queue.
Highlights feature uses current users username as query. Otherwise this script does not send usernames, user_ids, passwords or other personal information to tiuku.me or 3rd party services. Hiding, spoilering and showing favourites is done purely on client side and is based on public data from Derpibooru API and Derpibooru page that the user is currently viewing.
All assets are downloaded from tiuku.me over a secure connection and the main script “derpibooru_explorer.js” makes secure queries to tiuku.me to fetch recommendations. No requests are made to 3rd party services.
