rm2manga v1.0.0: Initial Release 🎉

A native, high-performance Mihon / Tachiyomi-style manga reader and downloader built specifically for the reMarkable 2 running on AppLoad (rm-appload / XOVI).


✨ Highlights & Features

  • 📱 Mihon-Style Interface:

    • Hero Card: Quick 1-tap "Continue Reading" right at the top of your Library to jump straight into your last-read series, chapter, and page.
    • 4 Navigation Views: Library, Recent, Browse (Discover & Search), and Downloads.
    • On-Screen Touch Keyboard: Custom E-Ink touch QWERTY keyboard with URL/JSON quick shortcuts, plus full hardware keyboard and Type Folio support.
  • 🔌 Dual-Engine Source Architecture:

    • Native MangaDex v5 Client: Direct high-resolution cover art, manga summaries, author details, and DDoS-compliant API negotiation.
    • Aidoku WASM Plugin Support: Install and browse external community extensions (e.g., MangaFox, MangaKatana, Toonily) directly using your own source lists.
    • Zero Hardcoded Pirate Sources: Ships clean with no hardcoded repositories—users have complete control over their source list configuration.
  • 📖 Purpose-Built E-Ink Reader:

    • Hardware-Native Canvas: Fullscreen 1404 × 1872 resolution with raw touch and Wacom stylus handling for zero-latency page turns.
    • Reading Modes: Configurable Manga (RTL ←) or Comic (LTR →) page turn zones.
    • Swipe Polarity Toggle: Swap whether a horizontal swipe left or swipe right navigates forward to suit your natural reading habits.
    • View Presets: Fit Page, Trim Margins, Full Width (1:1 vertical drag), and 2x Zoom.
    • Ghosting Reduction: Manual Clear Ghost button and periodic automatic e-paper waveform refreshes.
    • Zero-Wait Chapter Transitions: Silently downloads and extracts the next chapter in the background when approaching the final pages of the current chapter.
  • 🖼️ Intelligent Cover Art Pipeline:

    • Reads source covers directly from SQLite (data/aidoku/database.db).
    • Automatically falls back to high-resolution MangaDex cover art by title when community plugins omit cover URLs.
    • Domain-aware User-Agent and Referer headers prevent 403 Forbidden CDN blocks.
