<h1>Inspiration</h1> I love the Amazon Kindle Guided View, which zooms into interesting parts of the pages of graphic novels (mangas and comics). It provides a cinematic reading experience and highlights details that can be easily overlooked on small displays but it is limited to selected series. </n></n> Therefore I tried to make a similar automated feature that can be universally applied und helps avoid page-wide spoilers.</n></n> My app aditionally features an automatic reading mode that displays the next panel after a dynamic amount of time, depending on the size and shape of the panel. <h1>How to use</h1> <h2>Controls and Features</h2> <ul> <li>show new graphic novel/chapter: tap on the three dot menu, tap on "choose folder", choose a folder, wait, tap to show first panel</li> <li>show next panel: tap on the display <li>return to previous panel: long press on panel</li> <li>zooming panel: pinching gesture or double tap</li> <li>move panel: drag and drop</li> <li>automatic reading mode: press "start automatic switching mode" in the menu to change the panel automatically and dynamically every 6 - 22 seconds depending on the panel shape and size.
