Manga, anime, shows, films. One library.

Checking…

A self-hosted PWA that brings together everything you read and watch. It tracks progress chapter by chapter or episode by episode, and automatically finds where to read or watch it legally.

What I built

  • Unified search across MangaDex, MyAnimeList, AniList, Kitsu, TMDB and TVmaze, with merged, de-duplicated results.
  • A link-resolution engine covering about forty official platforms (Crunchyroll, ADN, Netflix, Webtoon…).
  • Release calendar and push notifications (VAPID), refreshed every 6 hours by a background job.
  • A year-long activity heatmap, stats and a “ready to binge” sort.
  • Works offline and syncs when the network comes back.

The challenges

01

Six APIs, one result

Each source has its own format and IDs. A providers package normalises everything, then duplicates are merged so a title only shows up once.

02

A monorepo architecture

The Hono API, the React front end and shared packages (types, providers) live in one repository, so any contract change is type-checked on both sides.
