OpenTapasReader

OpenTapasReader is an open-source Android client for viewing Tapas.io comics.
Built with Svelte and Capacitor.

Warning

In light of Tapas.io's shutdown announcement, I have decided to archive this project. The application will now likely continue to function properly until the service shuts down, and its source code may be beneficial in any potential archival efforts. Thank you to the Tapas community.

Note

I do not condone piracy in any way, and this application does not allow you to pirate content. Only use it at your own risk and for legitimate use. If you find the application to be infringing copyright or violating the Terms of Service, please do not hesitate to contact me either through a GitHub issue or by email (opentapasreader.fifty411@aleeas.com) and I will take the application down. I always recommend using the official Tapas.io application.
