Fanfix is a small Java program that can download stories from some supported websites and render them offline.
+![Main GUI](screenshots/fanfix.png?raw=true "Main GUI")
+
It will convert from a (supported) URL to an .epub file for stories or a .cbz file for comics (a few other output types are also available, like Plain Text or LaTeX).
To help organize your stories, it can also work as a local library.
In this mode, you can:
- Import a story from its URL (or even another file)
- Export a story to a file (.epub or .cbz)
-- Display a story from the local library
+- Display a story from the local library in text format in the console
+- Display a story from the local library graphically **by calling a native program to handle it** (though Fanfix can automatically process it into HTML so any browser can open it)
## Supported websites
Any platform with at lest Java 1.6 on it should be ok.
-If you have any problems to compile it with a supported Java version (1.5 won't work, but you may try to cross-compile or change the Bundle.java class from the utilities; 1.6 and 1.8 have been tested and work), please contact me.
+It has only been tested on Linux and Windows for now, but feel free to inform me if you try it on another system.

- ```--export [id] [output_type] [target]```: export the story denoted by ID to the target file
- ```--convert [URL] [output_type] [target] (+info)```: convert the story at URL into target, and force-add the .info and cover if +info is passed
## TODO
Currently missing, but either in progress or planned:
-- A GUI (work in progress)
-- Some readers other than CLI (TUI, GUI)
-- Check if it can work on Android
-- French translation
