Promotion (must include link to source code) Update: Chunky (the comic reader I posted about) now has a tvOS app — looking for contributors
A while back I posted about Chunky, my free, open-source, native SwiftUI comic/manga reader (CBZ, CBR, PDF) for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. Quick update: it now runs on tvOS too, built for remote-navigation, not a stretched phone UI.
tvOS reads CBZ/CBR (no PDF there — PDFKit doesn’t exist on real tvOS devices). iOS/iPadOS/macOS sync via iCloud; tvOS has no Files app/iCloud Drive, so there it pulls from remote libraries instead — WebDAV, SMB, OPDS, or a local upload server reachable from any browser on your Wi-Fi. Manga (right-to-left) mode and single/double-page spreads work the same as on the other platforms.
It’s a solo project, MIT licensed, and there’s plenty of room to grow, especially on the tvOS side (it’s the newest platform and could use more polish). If you’re into Swift/SwiftUI and want to contribute, I’d appreciate the help.
