+Fanfix is a small Java program that can download stories from some supported websites and render them offline.
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).
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
## Supported platforms
-Any platform with at lest Java 1.5 on it should be ok.
+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 (1.4 won't work, but you may try to cross-compile; 1.8 had been tested and works), please contact me.
+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.
## Usage
```./configure.sh && make```
-You can also import the java sources into, say, [https://eclipse.org/](Eclipse), and create a runnable JAR file from there.

### Dependant libraries (included)
-- libs/nikiroo-utils-sources-0.9.2.jar: some shared utility functions I also use elsewhere
-- [https://github.com/unbescape/unbescape](libs/unbescape-1.1.4-sources.jar): a nice library to escape/unescape a lot of text formats; I only use it for HTML

-Nothing else but Java 1.5+.
+Nothing else but Java 1.6+.
Note that calling ```make libs``` will export the libraries into the src/ directory.
## TODO
Currently missing, but either in progress or planned:
-- A GUI (work in progress)
-- A binary JAR release (and thus, version 1)
-- Some readers other than CLI (TUI, GUI)
-- Check if it can work on Android
-- French translation
+- [ ] A GUI (work in progress)
+ - [x] Make one
+ - [x] Make it run when no args passed
+ - [ ] Fix the UI, it is ugly
+ - [ ] Work on the UI thread is BAD
+ - [ ] Allow export
+ - [ ] Show a list of types
+ - [x] ..in the menu
+ - [ ] ..as a screen view
+ - options screen
+- [ ] A TUI reader
+- [ ] Check if it can work on Android
+- [ ] Translations
+ - [x] i18n system in place
+ - [x] Make use of it
+ - [x] Use it for all user output (some WIP remains)
+ - [ ] French translation
+- [ ] Allow lauching a custom application instead of Desktop.star ?
