Co-Kamishibai

pronounce Ko-kami-shi-bye

Mini multi-platform web server for reading manga or comic on any browser. Works on low memory device and small/old browser such as Kindle web Opera mini if used over the internet.

Code was written back in 2013, only recently I've cleaned up and upload to the web. Please don't judge it too harshly.

This is written before the Kamishibai.

Config file is written in JSON format. The config file will be located at ~/etc/kamishibai.conf. The config file can also manually selected by appending the config path after the program.

Start:

co-kamishibai.rb [config_file.conf]

File Format:

Only CBZ is supported and it should be zero compressed zip file. This will reduce the burden on the system when reading as well as making the experience more responsive. The file name will determind how it will be organized by the program.
