The Issue

We had a comic author in the Discord who is interested in publishing his work on LBRY. Comics are a huge market and a lot of them come in .cbz or .cbr format (rar or zip files with images) or PDF. It would be great if we could have an in-app comic file viewer. There should be many open source viewers available. Here is one: https://github.com/codedread/kthoom

@LavRadis I'm currently working on one, it's open source and should be easy to integrate using an iframe or a react-component, I'll try to make a demo for next week...

If you have any features in mind just post it here.

@seanyesmunt currently is a web app, not sure if an iframe would work 🙃

Ah I didn't realize that. Ok. Well this isn't a high priority, maybe someone will pick it up.

Due to the complexity of this viewer I decided to create a separate modular component:

Small update on this issue:
I created a new react component (WIP) but it should be compatible with preact:
