Co-Kamishibai
pronounce Ko-kami-shi-bye
Mini multi-platform web server for reading manga or comic on any browser. Works on low memory device and small/old browser such as Kindle web Opera mini if used over the internet.
Code was written back in 2013, only recently I've cleaned up and upload to the web. Please don't judge it too harshly.
This is written before the Kamishibai.
