FRANK Scanlation v0.2.0

MangaDex support

MangaDex is an API-driven SPA, so the generic heuristics couldn't see
it. This release adds the one host-gated exception (the same stance the
browser extension takes): everything MangaDex goes through its public
API, English translations by default.

  • Paste a mangadex.org/title/… URL — or even a chapter link, it
    resolves the owning title — and the library card gets the proper
    title, cover art, and the full chapter list, deduplicated across
    scanlation groups.
  • Reading progress, Continue ▶, Latest, and the new-chapter
    notifications all work through the API (chapter uuids resolve to
    numbers behind the scenes).
  • The reader overlay auto-opens on MangaDex chapters, and prev/next
    chapter navigation falls back to the API feed when MangaDex's own
    reader UI has nothing to scrape.

Fixes and polish since v0.1.0

  • Single-window design: sites open in place; the ⌂ Library button
    (or h) brings you home. No more window-per-manga.
  • Fixed black pages when reading at large window sizes on
    NVIDIA/WebKitGTK, and removed a broken backdrop-filter that painted a
    ghost rectangle under the Library button.
  • Page turns are instant, and the rendering workaround is scoped so
    reading feels lighter.
  • The library layout got proper breathing room.
