Welcome to the Thwip wiki!

Goals

  • Get comic metadata from Comic Vine.
  • Provide REST API.
  • Read pages from comic archive (cbz), and expose them through the REST API to the front-end as a base64 image.

Roadmap

  • Look into getting the story arc information from Comic Vine and if they don't provide reading-order, adding that to our models.

Installation

FAQ

  1. Why must I tag my comics with Comic Tagger before I can import my comics?

    Implementing comic issue search is fairly tough to do right, and frankly a tool dedicated to that is a better solution. The only information we need to import a comic is an issue's comic vine id, and as far as I'm aware Comic Tagger is the only tagging utility that includes that information. If you know others that do, drop me a note with the tag layout to parse and I'll add it to the project.

  2. Why no cbr (rar) support?

    • I'm not aware of any provider (Comixology, Humble Bundle, DriveThru Comics, etc.) of legally downloadable DRM-free comics that use the rar format.
    • It's a non-free software file format.
    • It is trivial to convert to cbz (zip) format.
  3. Do you support pdf?

    Don't have any plan to since you can't write tags to them, and I have no plans to include Comic Vine issue searching to the project.

  4. Do you have a Docker installation?

    Nope, but if you want to create one I'd be more than happy to look at a pull request. 😃
