FakkuReader for Windows 8.1 (W.I.P)
0
So I tried making an app or two with WPF (framework compatible computers running W8 and lower) but I then tried my hand at the Metro SDK (for Windows 8/8.1/WinRT) and I'm absolutely loving it.
Here's what I have so far (still a W.I.P.)
https://github.com/Evanjs/FakkuReader-WinRT
Features
Front page view with prev/next buttons
Individual manga detail view
Read online functionality
Search functionality
Click to search functionality for tags/artists
Shortcuts
General
Backspace - last (navigational) page
Esc - Return to front page
Reading Mode
Left/Right or A/D or mouse wheel - navigate between pages
Backspace / Left on first page - Return to Manga Detail Page
Q - Show/Hide current manga Title and Page
Manga Detail
Left - Return to previous (navigational page)
Right - Read online
Planned features
Local Favorites
Download manga for off-line reading
Local blacklist integration
Any input would be appreciated.
Again, this is for Windows 8.1. Not sure if it works on 8, but 8.1 is free if you have 8, so....
Also, I am aware of minor issues with layout, such as the taglist getting cut off on the detail view, etc, and am looking into them.
Installation
Just navigate to \FakkuReader.Windows\AppPackages\FakkuReader.Windows_0.0.0.2_Test for now. Right click on the .ps1 file located there and run in powershell
The app should appear on the Metro menu
Edit
Navigate to script manually @\FakkuReader.Windows\AppPackages\FakkuReader.Windows_0.0.0.4_Test
For those encountering any issues during the install - I apologize for the complicated process required to install this application, but I can't publish it to the Windows Store (direct links to "profane" content) so I'm doing the best with what I've been given.
Guide for those can't seem to get it installed - http://www.ghacks.net/2012/08/17/how-to-add-non-store-apps-to-windows-8/
For those that happen to have Visual Studio installed, just open the solution and build. Metro app will be installed automatically.
Support for Windows phone is planned.
