Notice how the folders and images can have different naming conventions but what matters is they're all orderd numericallys

I find Hakuneko the best downloader and the folder structure is compatible with Clovre as well.

Deployment

No build step, use a webserver with HTTPS support. like Caddy

example Caddyfile
localhost
root * /path/to/repo/clovre
file_server

Why

I wanted a way to read manga comfortably on PC because it's been ages. After trying quite a few options, none met my special needs so I put this together over the weekend.
