In the months before going down mangadex rolled out a program where people could host mirrors of their image database to lessen the burden on the main servers. I assume client is one of those.

How many hours of actual work do you think the ppl behind Mangadex have put in since March? 20 hours? Thirty?

yeah I’m sure this is real important to the 9 or 10 people that still remember your website exists, much less plan to use it again whenever this nebulous…….. thing you’re working on is finally finished in like 100 years

OK, so apparently MangaDex is either never coming back or is going to feature creep itself beyond the point of usability. What are the hot new alternatives everybody's moving to?

i dunno if it's really "feature creep" for them to add moderation tools and (not yet!) the ability to upload new manga

kinda the opposite really

It's less feature creep and more extremely slow baby steps. But I don't know of any alternatives that don't have a terrible layout, don't try to get me to load facebook comments, or aren't full of ads. Would love to hear what everyone else is using.

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
I just stopped reading manga cold turkey and I have to say it's been weird how much I don't miss it anymore.

Yeah, tbh I expect most people will actually go back to mangadex as soon as they enable uploads, from lack of tolerable alternatives.

They should have just left the old site up read-only this entire time imo, if they were going to save uploads for last, but here we are.

This is one of the things I miss about mangadex. Going to the site, scrolling through recent uploads, and reading some random trashy echi one shot I otherwise wouldn’t read.

That was the only reason I could sit through that Dogeza show that was on a while ago. I had to see that murder animated.

I don't think so, friend. that's kind of a weird thing to compare it to!

she's just really shy and has trouble speaking to people, but the entire series is mostly about her moving past that, and also romantic comedy shenanigans.

Also MangaStorm and all of its imitator apps got nuked off the AppStore so now there's no good way to read manga on my phone. Another feather in 2021's cap.

Yeah sorry about that, I know it’s an icky comparison. I actually have read bits and pieces* of that series and I don’t know why my brain likens it to THAT case in particular. Maybe because it’s the only major real-life example I know about of a case with any similarities, even though I’m certain that they suffer from two totally different things.
