[](https://github.com/tonymushah/special-eureka/actions/workflows/dev-build.yaml)
A desktop manga reader which support for :
- the [Mangadex](https://mangadex.org) website. [Code source](https://github.com/tonymushah/special-eureka/tree/master/src/mangadex)
It's build in [Tauri](https://tauri.app) and [React](https://react.dev)

- RTL Support for Chapter Reading

## Why I Created this project??
I love reading manga.
There is many website that allows you to read manga for free like [Mangadex](https://mangadex.org), [Manga Plus](https://mangaplus.shueisha.co.jp/updates), [RawKuma](https://rawkuma.com/) for raws.
The problem is that these are website, you need internet connection to access them.
And me, who live in a country where internet connection is SLOW and EXPENSIVE, want to read manga without worrying about internet connection.
There was two solutions :
- be rich (which i can't do due to my complicated situations)
- create or use a tool that allow me to download manga from website
I decided to take the second solution.
There is some great alternatives like : [mangadesk](https://github.com/darylhjd/mangadesk) and [Mangal](https://github.com/metafates/mangal) for Terminal, or [Tachiyomi](https://tachiyomi.org/) for Mobile, etc,... (i recommend visiting [wotaku](https://wotaku.moe/) if you want to know more about those).
But they don't satisfy my own need, like :
- Having a desktop app 😅
- Reading Chapter and Manga on both offline and online
- Having the same user experience as the website
- Zoom for chapter
- Customization
- Exports
- etc,...
So with those goals in mind, i decided to create my own manga reader app for Desktop.
### Why choosing Tauri??
[Tauri](https://tauri.app) is a toolkit for building desktop apps (they will support mobile soon too!), kinda like [Electron](https://www.electronjs.org/) but built in [Rust](https://rust-lang.org).
Now, i wanted to use [Tauri](https://tauri.app) for fun, just to see of how can it go and such.
But even if the Tauri ecosystem is still growing, it has so many great features that make me fall off.
### Why use React??
It was a mistake at first, but React is amazing. I know that there is good alternative like Solid, Vue, Svelte, and such,... but I'm still learning while building project.

## Using the source directly
Before we start, make sure you have meet the [Tauri Prerequisites](https://tauri.app/v1/guides/getting-started/prerequisites) and done the [Tauri Quick Start With Vite](https://tauri.app/v1/guides/getting-started/setup/vite).
And, this project also use [pnpm](https://pnpm.io) as a package manager, so make sure you have installed it.
If that's done, then let's get started.
First, clone the repository
```bash
git clone https://github.com/tonymushah/special-eureka.git
```
Second, install the frontend dependencies:
```bash
pnpm install
```
Note : Make sure you have [pnpm](https://pnpm.io) installed
Last, but at least :
```bash
pnpm dev
```
The build might take a long time, like 30 minutes so i recommend doing else instead.
