I'm not able to access any content that I don't already have downloaded. I can't use the search function and the bookmark section does not update at all. It's functions literally as if the app had no access to the internet. Even doe I do have.

I love your app and I wish to continue using it.

Thank you so much for reaching out and reporting this issue, and for your kind words about the app! I sincerely apologize for the disruption you're experiencing. I understand how frustrating it is to lose access to the online features.

The root cause of the problem lies with the server that powers the search and online updates. To explain a bit about how it was set up: to maximize search speed, the app relies on a weekly crawl of all data, which is then processed and indexed entirely in-memory using a custom Rust program. This approach avoids the overhead of a traditional database. To keep things simple, the entire index was rebuilt every 10 minutes, treating the data as static.

This design required a server with at least 8GB of RAM and a 4-core CPU. Initially, I was running this on a relatively inexpensive cloud provider (around $2/month). However, my server was recently banned due to what was flagged as excessive resource usage, and unfortunately, I haven't been able to recover the account.

To make matters worse, due to an oversight on my part, the server-side code was not managed in a Git repository like GitHub, and was only stored on the server itself. This means the server program is currently lost. I am deeply sorry for this mistake.

I am actively working on a new server implementation that will be much more resource-efficient and support dynamic updates. This is a complete rewrite, and it will take some time. Realistically, due to my limited free time, the online features (search and bookmarks) will likely be unavailable for at least another month.

I will keep you updated on my progress and will post updates in this issue thread. I understand this is a significant inconvenience, and I appreciate your patience and understanding while I work to resolve this. I am committed to getting the app back to full functionality as soon as possible.

Wow, thanks for the explanation, it is quite interesting for someone like me who is an Amateur on coding.

I've tried many android and desktop programs for downloading/reading manga, but yours is my favorite due to the bookmark functionality and the quick response time of the app, with this said, there's no need to apologize, your app is completely free to use and you're been kind enough to make this for the internet.

Thanks for your hard work, I'll be waiting with excitement your update.

Hope you're doing well. Is there any update on the topic?
