React to a chapter, and talk about it with your household.

Chapter comments

  • Where a chapter ends. The reader runs one chapter into the next, so a chapter's talk sits at its end. In the
    webtoon scroll, the line between two chapters now shows who reacted, how many comments there are, and the six
    reactions, one tap each. Reading page by page, a small key sits on each chapter's last page, and the end card after
    the last chapter has the same.
  • A comments key in the top bar opens the comments of the chapter on screen, with how many there are.
  • Reactions: ❤️ 😂 😭 😱 🔥 🤯, one each a chapter. Tap yours again to take it back, or tap another to change it.
  • Comments are plain text. One written in the reader remembers its page, and p. 41 on it goes there. You edit or
    delete your own, and an admin can remove anyone's.
  • On the series page, chapters people talked about show their top reactions and comment count, and a chapter's
    ⋯ menu has Comments.
  • Who sees it: only members who can open the series. Faces show who reacted or commented, never who read. With
    Incognito reading on, you can read comments but not post or react.
  • Alerts: a new comment sends a push only to the members who already commented on that chapter.
  • Nothing shows on a server with one account, or in Uchiyomi Desktop.

Fixed

  • Escape on the reader's chapter list or page grid closes it, and no longer leaves the reader as well.

Upgrading

  • Nothing to do. Two new tables hold the comments and reactions; v0.86.x runs on the upgraded database unchanged.

Uchiyomi Desktop (beta): downloads

Uchiyomi as a program on your own computer, for Windows and Mac. On first launch it asks how you want to
use it: on this computer (the whole app, with the library in a folder on your PC and no Docker or
server to run) or connected to your own Uchiyomi server (a window onto the server you already run).

Your computer Download
Windows (x64) Uchiyomi-Setup-0.87.0.exe
Mac with Apple silicon (M1 or newer) Uchiyomi-0.87.0-arm64.dmg
Mac with an Intel processor Uchiyomi-0.87.0-x64.dmg

Only those three are for you: the .zip, .blockmap and latest*.yml files are what the app's own updater
reads. The same installers are also here under names without a version (Uchiyomi-Setup.exe,
Uchiyomi-mac-arm64.dmg, Uchiyomi-mac-x64.dmg), which always lead to the newest release.

The app is not signed yet, so the first launch takes one extra step:

  • Windows: "Windows protected your PC" appears once. Choose More info, then Run anyway. A PC
    with Smart App Control turned on blocks unsigned apps with no way past it; use the Docker install there.
  • macOS: open the dmg and drag Uchiyomi to Applications. The first time you open it, macOS refuses;
    go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and choose Open Anyway.

Windows installs updates by itself. A Mac cannot update an unsigned app, so there a new version is a new
download; the menu-bar icon and Admin → Health say when one is out.

Step by step, with pictures -- which file, the first launch on each system, the two ways to use it, adding
sources, updates, backups, where files live and uninstalling:
