This lightweight tool pulls content from MangaDex and other sources directly into an editor panel or secondary sidebar, enabling users to read manga while coding. The project, entirely written in TypeScript and open-source under the MIT license, is available on GitHub and the VS Code Marketplace. Users can also access the Open VSX version for further customization. The author invites feedback on desired features and additional sources for future development.",
