MANHWA READER cover

Single-page app for discovering titles and reading chapters end-to-end via the MangaDex API — home with search and feeds, detail pages, and a dedicated reader with chapter navigation and persistent themes.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • ▸ Discovery: hero search, popular & recently-updated grids, category chips
  • ▸ Reader: full chapter images, chapter dropdown, prev/next, toggleable controls
  • ▸ Light/dark theme with localStorage persistence
  • ▸ Defensive handling of duplicate chapters and inconsistent API payloads

ARCHITECTURE

  • ▸ mangaService.ts centralizes API calls and data shaping; typed models throughout
  • ▸ Chapter lists merge paginated results and prefer entries with better page coverage
  • ▸ Page URLs resolved from MangaDex base URL + chapter hash + filenames
