Webtarr - Webtoon reader

Finished the golang backend and now it’s 25x faster!

Started to make a backend in Golang cuz javascript is shit
Made a better pages for series and added little navigations buttons so I can go to the next webtoon easier

I made a better frontpage to show webtoons. Currently it only “supports” series and not oneshots, it process oneshots like one big serie

Website now loads images from the CBZ very fast (50ms average) and loads the CBZ from a JSON containing all the informations about it

I’d like to make it fully autonomous by loading the data inside the ComicInfo.xml instead of the webtoons.json

I made a frontpage for it and datas now loads from a json in src/data (cuz I also made a better file structures)

Next I need to load the images from the .cbz and expose them online (smth like /read/[id]/images/[idx] ). And obviously made it prettier

I started to make the webtoon reader using Nextjs, it took me some times because I didn’t knew how to use React but I figured it out. I made my first component: WebtoonImage (which is just an wrapper with some fancy style) but I’ll upgrade it later

TODO list:

• Frontpage
• Better reader
• Load comics from a folder
• Auth (oauth or credentials idk)
