Honnoki ほんの木

Basically another Manga Reader

Heavily uses flavour of the year libs like Paging 3, Flow, ConcatAdapter, and Jetpack DataStore on top of your usual MVVM+Retrofit+Koin architecture

The reader screen in this app mimics the ones from 漫画人 by DM5.cn. It is like a continuous scrolling list that is able to prefetch next chapter without the need for Prev/Next buttons. I used ConcatAdapter to achieve all that but the DM5 app was released like way back in 2015(?). So I think they used another method to achieve the style & functionality. Big applause to the dev of DM5 because IMO it was ahead of its time in terms of UX & performance.'
