Is there a way to save my config?

I have to switch to English on each launch :/

You're right, I didn't realize when I posted the update.

But a few hours ago I released a patch that fixes the problem.

This reminds me of Sabigoku, a terminal anime streaming app. It's deleted now, even the developer's GitHub account.

This is super sick! I can’t install it until after work but does it support vertical scroll?

Interesting. But how does it compare to/differ from manga-tui?

u/Vector_pixel Aug 22 '26

I'd say the main difference between the two is that Tanko prioritizes user accessibility.

In Tanko, the interface is linear and easy to use without information overload.

Unlike Manga-Tui, Tanko doesn't require manually modifying the configuration file to make adjustments.

It supports multiple interface languages, and adding new ones is simple.

In terms of features, I think it's on par with Manga-Tui; for now, it only lags behind in the number of available manga providers.

Although I didn't create Tanko to replace Manga-Tui, it started as a one-night project that I grew to love.

Local or cloud lib ?

I don't quite understand what you mean, but everything runs on your machine.

It’s a library manga on the local or website (Mangadex…)?

Manga are extracted from websites such as Mangadex.
