CLUSTER COMICS-EBOOKS-MANGA · 11 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2020-05-09

Self-hosted comic and ebook readers

This cluster comprises self-hosted media server and reading client applications for organizing and reading comics, manga, and ebooks from personal libraries. The dated entry history is too thin to read a shape from, with only four dated entries predating the index. Among known members, StoryArc leads in traction with 8 stars, while komga and yacreaderlibraryserver show 0 stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
