Import/Interpret Scraper data from Other Sources like Tachiyomi Extensions

[Underestimated]

Kind of a long shot, but I thought I’d suggest it anyway.
If there were a way to interpret the source from the publicly available tachiyomi extensions, mangal could generate its own scrapers on the fly and immediately expand its compatible sources enormously.

I wouldn’t use the jar files that the app imports, but the source code for all their sources is available on GitHub, so it may not be hard to extract the portion of the code that handles the API access to the source site.

The problem I see is finding a way to read and interpret the different language code and translate it to lua.

I understand this would probably be an enormous undertaking but thought I should suggest it in case it hadn’t been considered, as this would unlock a lot more functionality and make the project more appealing to potential new users (especially as some of us aren’t a huge fan of Java, and Tachidesk/Tachiyomi both heavily rely on that and have a huge unnecessary overhead as a result)
