I feel like this is actually the thing you want when you say "less things cluttering my screen".
Siri can now be that assistant, that summarises or does things, that would instead make you go through various screens or apps. Feels like it rescues clutter, not increases it to me imo
Same - I've been slowly migrating to Render (https://render.com) as my new favourite.
It's obviously not at the same scale as MangaDex, as they provide actual hosting for scanlation groups, but if you want to support the scanlator sites that do have a site - check out Kenmei, which is my take on tracking series you read. It specifically built with scanlator-first approach, so that you actually go and visit their sites, helping them survive long term, instead of hogging the traffic, like Tachiyomi does
I've built a scheduling website for a community I run that watches anime in VR. Use Rails 5.1 with Vue and Webpacker. It's finally not hard to have modern front-end stack while retaining the power of RoR on the backend. http://vranimesociety.com/
