A desktop manga reader using React and Redux.
- Many manga apps only allow you to read a small portion of manga from a given site. With this app you can add any manga available from a supported manga site by pasting in the URL.
- You can download as many chapters as you want for offline reading.
- Because the download state is persisted to disk you can close the app while it is downloading a chapter and it will resume the next time you start it up again.
- The app automatically checks for and adds new chapters on startup.
- You can navigate to the next/previous page by clicking the right/left side of the manga image. You can also jump directly to a certain page or use a slider to scroll quickly through pages.
In order to build and run manga-ts, first have pnpm installed. Then run pnpm install in the project directory to install the dependencies.
If you want to run manga-ts in development mode you can just run pnpm dev.
If you want to build the packaged electron app you should run pnpm build to compile the front end Javascript and then pnpm build:linux to package the code into an executable where linux can
be replaced with your platform.
Right now there are no supported sites because the way to bypass Cloudflare constantly changes. However, I plan on adding support for some manga sites in the future and it is also fairly easy to contribute bindings to a specific site.
Contributions for all parts of the application are welcome! The easiest contribution to make is adding support for a specific manga site. In order to do that, you should create a new file inside utils/sites and have it implement the functions mangaURL, sendRequest, parseMangaData, parsePageLinks, and parsePageImage (look at utils/sites/preloaded.ts for an example). Then all you have to do is add a key-value pair to the hostnameAdapterMap object inside utils/url.ts where the key is the hostname of the new manga site and the value is require('path to file you created').
To run the vitest tests, run pnpm test.
