FAKKU Reader Help, Feedback and Bug Report Thread

Yo, E-hentai just ripped the book Jake! What the hell is up with that, I know they're not very better than what they already are but isn't that kinda a dick move?

Yes, it's a dick move for sure, but not an unexpected one, especially since the downloads don't have any DRM. (And it would likely get pirated anyway if they did, so better just not have any to ensure the best experience for legit customers.)

What was unexpected and not cool at all though is that the uploader removed the credits page from the book. Seriously, if you were to illegally distribute something, the least you should do is have the decency to leave the credits in for the work being distributed.

Your post (and this response) should really go to the Renai Sample thread, though, as the matter at hand is not a reader-related issue.

Whoops, sorry for that!(that and the minus, im on a pad, it's hard to hit the vote up button) I'll see to it then

Dolphin seems to be using Webkit as its browser engine, so I'm going to give it a look at some point to see if the problem is just something silly. However, if the issue runs deeper in the sense that Dolphin is lacking in some important HTML5 capabilities that the reader needs, then supporting it will not really be possible. But I promise to look into it and post updates when it becomes relevant.

I suspect this is caused by the touch firing both touch and mouse events. A similar problem seems to exist on iOS, so it's definitely something that needs to be fixed.

[color=#993300]Running on iOS and seems to work just fine sake for two things. One I can't hide the GUI, which obstructs reading and two, fit to height doesn't work

No, default scaling.

Is there a way we can select certain pages in the on-line book? Say I want to jump to the 156 page? Will be great if I can type the page number and see it right away :)

The next notable update should add in a chapter menu that will allow you to jump directly to whatever chapter you want. Direct jumping to a page number might come into play later.

you can do it ^^
url for page 67: www.fakku.net/manga/renai-sample-english/read/page/67
just change page number here


anyway, i can't hide UI with mouse or keyboard, but probably problem is in my browser (FF 13.0.1)

Don't get me wrong, while native zooming might not happen, pinch to zoom can still be worked in eventually, it just wouldn't scale the interface. By the way, the interface size itself is based on your browser's default font size, which means that if you have a hard time reading things at default size regularly you could always bump it up. All browsers should have a setting for this.

When trying to hide the UI on mobile, it kinda goes away but comes back half a second later. I wouldn't mind it if it didn't obstruct my reading. Maybe lower the opacity? As for viewing on the computer, it was pretty smooth sailing. Everything worked the way it should for me.

Edit: Found a new bug on mobile where If you turn the device to try to read sideways, it just disappears. It does reappear when turning it back though.

Just another tiny bug, but the star at the bottom doesn't seem to recognize that Renai Sample is in my favorites already. Clicking on it to make it white will add the book to my favorites, and clicking on it again to make it empty will remove the book from my favorites.

I guess the orientation change isn't triggering resize events on your device. Guess I'll see if I can fix it. As for your first issue, if my suspicion is right then that should hopefully be fixed soon.



Yeah, there's an issue with the backend not returning proper favorite data at the moment. That's on Jacob.

I'm not sure if it's been addressed or brought forward yet, but a "go to ___ page" would be nice so that you don't have to click through the same pages you were reading before to get to where you'd like to go.

Other than that it's a swell little reader.

Alright, we've pushed some fixes that should make landscape mode work on iOS, and the UI should also hide properly there now.


While the reader doesn't have anything in the UI for this right now, you can always edit the URL (manga/renai-sample-english/page/X) to go to the page you want.
