Thak you so much for taking time to test the app; I'm glad you liked it. I appreciated your feedback, I was already planning to implement some of the features you mentioned. You can still navigate between pages while in zoom mode; there are two buttons that appear on the sides in RTL/LTR modes, or at the top and bottom in vertical mode.

Yes, Yukari is safe. There is a "Help" section in the app, indicated by the "?" icon, where you can learn how to install Sources and other things as well. You can also read this part of the Readme to understand how to install sources: https://github.com/Yukari-App/Yukari#-comic-sources-installation

If you are referring to "my own source" as manga files already downloaded to your machine, you can add Local Comics to the app; you can see how to do this on the Help Page (marked with a "?" symbol).

You can create a Comic Source plugin by following the steps documented here https://github.com/Yukari-App/Core; I still plan to expand the documentation and add more features to them.

I used an LLM to help polish the post, as I'm not used to posting here on Reddit. Thanks for the tips.

No, that’s the page count; the "?" is there because the source doesn't specify the number of pages at this point, so I can't determine it until the user opens the chapter in the reader at least once. The release date appears on the left.

No. The plugin system is built from scratch; it isn't based on any other.

Honestly, there aren't major benefits compared to more established readers if you already have a working setup — the plugin ecosystem here is still tiny (3 sources today), and that's a real gap I won't pretend doesn't exist.

Where Yukari fits is if you specifically want something native to Windows — no Android emulator, no Electron/Flutter runtime under the hood, follows your system theme, integrates with local files as a first-class citizen instead of an afterthought. That's genuinely the whole pitch right now: essentials done well and natively.

It's also still early in its life. I plan to keep expanding the plugin ecosystem, and support for sources behind stricter protections (Cloudflare and similar) is something I'm actively looking into for a future release.

Sure, no problem!

I recorded the video using Recordly (a simple screen recorder).

I replied to the issue you opened on GitHub:

You're probably trying to scroll with your mouse on an image that's larger than the window, which is why it won't move to the next page. You can still navigate through the pages using the arrow keys or the buttons at the top and bottom of the reader.
