Books — a separate section for EPUB/PDF novels.
Library management — series/issue browsing, Collections, sort/group, browse history, Smart Lists, Reading Lists, and migration from an existing ComicRack CE library.
Home dashboard — continue reading and recommendation modules driven by a relationship-aware recommendation engine.
Rich metadata — series relations, continuity groupings, story events, and a live AniList adapter.
Plugins — an installable plugin ecosystem with its own package manager.

Get started

Grab the installer from the latest release. It's fully self-contained — bundles its own .NET runtime, nothing else to install. Windows only for now, and it checks for new releases on startup so you stay up to date. Full docs and build-from-source instructions are in the project README.
