  • threetwo

    A good comic book curation app.

    Absolutely shameless plug, but please take a look at ThreeTwo. It’s a comic book cataloging and curation app, pretty much designed to be Plex for comics. I have outlined some of its philosophy here: https://rishighan.github.io/threetwo-docs/

  • Komga

    Media server for comics/mangas/BDs/magazines/eBooks with API and OPDS support

    Another alternative: Komga

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • Calibre Web

    :books: Web app for browsing, reading and downloading eBooks stored in a Calibre database

  • tachiyomi

    Discontinued Free and open source manga reader for Android.

    Highly recommend using Kavita or Komga for Comic organization, then if you are on Android, use Tachiyomi as the reader. It has plugins for both Kavita and Komga that you let you connect your libraries to it to easily read. It is Manga focused, but as someone who doesn't read manga, just comics, it's still the best reader on android.

  • Kavita

    Kavita is a fast, feature rich, cross platform reading server. Built with the goal of being a full solution for all your reading needs. Setup your own server and share your reading collection with your friends and family.

    You should try out Kavita. The biggest problem with Komga is it doesn't do text-based epubs, which means you have to host another software to handle those (if you collect them). Kavita does both (but has a different vision than what Komga has). Although, I would say both are pretty top notch for self hosing comics and books (unless you love calibre).

  • plextheme-reading

    Ubooquity enhanced Plex based theme with all currently reading comics list and more

    I use ubooquity with the Plex theme. https://github.com/starcrouz/plextheme-reading

  • I haven't tried it out yet, but apparently Jellyfin has a book plugin that does books, comics, and audiobooks: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-plugin-bookshelf

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • codex

    Codex is a web based comic archive browser and reader (by ajslater)

    There is also Codex, which does very customizable metadata views. And has a color palette similar to Plex.
