MAPI
A simple manga reader mobile app, written in Flutter.
Reading manga on an iPad has always been a pain, and the apps on the App Store weren’t much help — most were either paid, full of ads, or had a cluttered, overcomplicated UI.
So I said to myself: F*ck it, I’ll make my own.
Little did I know that this would turn into one of my favorite projects to work on.
It all started back in 2020 as a Vue.js web app that I installed as a PWA. Eventually, I wanted to turn it into a proper native app, so I started learning Flutter and rewrote the whole thing from scratch. By the end of 2020, the first Flutter version was up and running.
The idea was pretty simple: an internal API client scraped manga from a website that has since shut down and exposed its entire library through the app.
With features like search, a personal favourites library, and chapter progress tracking, it was everything I needed.
