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
