Tapas Support

URL: https://tapas.io/ I believe that mature comics require an account to view, but the list of episodes/chapters is easily viewable.

Also seems like some chapters are gated behind a paywall. But there are others that are completely free. What to do...

Had a quick look at supporting this.

Few things to add here:

  • All series appear to have an RSS feed which can be used (Example).
  • The site also appears to support novels which make make no differentiation in the URL. Both webcomics and novels use /series/ & /episode/ which could cause some issues.
    Would have to do a check on both the userscript & backend to make sure we're only supporting the webcomic side of things.
  • The site seems to have the ability to follow series however the actual following page doesn't actually list the new chapter details, only the title of the actual series and if it's unread. The following dropdown on the navbar actually gives more info as it actually lists the date it was updated, but probably still not enough to use the custom updater.

Edit: One major thing I missed is that the site uses AJAX when going to another chapter, as well as going from the series page to the latest chapter, which would cause obvious issues when trying to get the userscript to load properly. Not sure the best way to handle that.
