What is Showpony?

A multimedia UI. It comes with modules for text, comics, video, and more, with the option to add additional modules as you want.

What are some of its awesome features?

  • Fullscreen: on any device, for any medium!
  • Easy archives: go to the menu and just drag across the screen to go to any part quickly!
  • Easy install: 1 line of HTML will take care of you in most cases. No dependencies, you just need to be running PHP 7 or higher.
  • Automatic bookmarks: both locally and remotely saved.
  • Mix media: video, comics, songs, books, and more can all be viewed in a streamlined experience!
  • Cross-device: supports touch screens, keyboard and mouse, and gamepads!
  • Cross-browser: recent versions of Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari, including mobile versions!
