https://dev.to/jayesh_99/i-built-an-offline-manga-reader-inside-vs-code-and-cursor-2ocb <p>During long compile times and debugging runs, I got tired of switching windows just to read a chapter of manga or webtoons.</p> <p>So I put together <strong>MangaBar</strong>, a lightweight extension for VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and VSCodium.</p> <p>It pulls from MangaDex and Keiyoushi/Tachiyomi extensions directly into an editor panel or secondary sidebar. It supports local offline downloads and zoom/pan.</p> <p>The project is 100% TypeScript and open source under MIT:</p> <ul> <li> <strong>GitHub</strong>: <a href="https://github.com/j-a-y-e-s-h/mangabar" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/j-a-y-e-s-h/mangabar</a> </li> <li> <strong>VS Code Marketplace</strong>: <a href="https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=j-a-y-e-s-h.mangabar" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=j-a-y-e-s-h.mangabar</a> </li> <li> <strong>Open VSX</strong>: <a href="https://open-vsx.org/extension/j-a-y-e-s-h/mangabar" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://open-vsx.org/extension/j-a-y-e-s-h/mangabar</a> </li> </ul> <p>If you read manga while coding, check it out and let me know what features or sources you'd like to see next!</p> vscode opensource showdev webdev
