@github-actions github-actions released this 16 Jul 21:50

Highlights

  • Comics, manga and novels at scale: Madara (~332 sites), MangaThemesia
    (~143), plus lightnovelwp/readwn engines (~120) — one framework per site
    family rather than one scraper per site.
  • Anime video extractors (MegaCloud/HiAnime, StreamWish, Dood, Mp4Upload …)
    hand off straight to mpv.
  • Anti-block fetching: source scrapers route through an anti-detect browser
    when they hit Cloudflare or a captcha.
  • Encrypted persistent content cache with stale-while-revalidate — cold
    start shows content immediately, then refreshes.
  • Opal Connect, a cross-browser extension: play/read/download/scrape into
    the local app, and add the site you are on as a source.
  • Infinite scroll across drama/vndb/novels/jellyfin/plex/opds/audiobookshelf/radio.
