enzious/nicoyomi repository overview

⁠Nicoyomi

A web server for browsing and downloading mangas to your Kindle library from your Kindle web browser.

⁠Starting a Nicoyomi web server

1. Using a shell/command-line, launch the web server with Docker:

docker run -p 6969:6969 enzious/nicoyomi

1. Open a web browser and open Nicoyomi:

xdg-open http://localhost:6969

⁠Requirements

• Docker
• Internet access

⁠Troubleshooting

1. Why doesn't Nicoyomi work on my Kindle when I host it with TSL/SSL?
   • Try using HTTP instead of HTTPS, or use an older TLS/SSL standard. You may have an older Kindle web browser.
2. Why do some mangas and chapters fail to download while others succeed?
   • There are some mangas listed that MangaDex doesn't actually host but instead redirects to a licensees domain. These will fail, I'll have to figure that out when I have time.
3. What is this "none" volume I'm seeing on some mangas?
   • That is a "fake" volume for chapters that do not have a volume. This could be because there just isn't a volume, or the chapter is new and hasn't been grouped into a volume.
4. I have an idea for a feature, where should I send it?
   • Open an issue⁠! This was a very fun 5-day project and I'm still wanting to add more features.
5. Why?
   • Idk, writing Rust is fun and manga on the Kindle is really comfy.
