# Repository Name: **Chōra**

> *Where narrative intelligence meets visual harmony — a next-generation frontend for self-hosted visual storytelling ecosystems.*

---

## Overview

Chōra is a meticulously crafted, browser-based client designed to interface with Suwayomi-compatible media servers. Built not merely as a reader, but as an ambient gateway into the worlds you host, Chōra reimagines the relationship between reader and library. It transforms raw server data into a fluid, cinematic browsing and reading experience — optimized for speed, accessibility, and personal expression.

Named after the ancient Greek concept of a receptive, generative space, Chōra is the blank canvas upon which your curated collections come alive. This is not just a manga reader; it is a semantic layer between your server and your senses.

---

## ✦ Philosophy & Vision

Most frontends treat the reading experience as a utility — a means to an end. Chōra treats it as a **ritual**. Every interaction, from the swipe of a page to the transition between library shelves, is designed to be frictionless yet intentional. The interface recedes so the story advances.

We believe that self-hosting should not demand a sacrifice in user experience. Chōra bridges the gap between the power of Suwayomi and the polish of a premium commercial application — without ever compromising your autonomy or privacy.

## 🚀 Getting Started

### Prerequisites
- A running instance of [Suwayomi-Server](https://github.com/Suwayomi/Suwayomi-Server) (version 0.5.0 or later).
- A modern browser (Chrome 90+, Firefox 88+, Edge 90+, Safari 15+).

### Connection Flow
1. Launch your Suwayomi-Server instance and note its URL (e.g., `http://192.168.1.42:4567`).
2. Open Chōra in your browser.
3. Enter the server URL in the connection dialog. Chōra will auto-detect the API version.
4. Authenticate using your server's credentials or API token.
5. Your library appears instantly. Begin exploring.

> **Note:** Chōra never transmits your server URL or credentials to any third party. All communication remains strictly between your browser and your server.

## 🧭 Architecture Overview

```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
│           Browser (Chōra Client)        │
│  ┌───────────┐  ┌───────────────────┐   │
│  │  State     │  │  Rendering        │   │
│  │  Manager   │──│  Engine (Canvas)  │   │
│  └───────────┘  └───────────────────┘   │
│         │                │               │
│         ▼                ▼               │
│  ┌──────────────────────────────────┐    │
│  │      API Abstraction Layer       │    │
│  └──────────────────────────────────┘    │
└──────────────────────┬──────────────────┘
                       │ HTTP/WebSocket
                       ▼
┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
│       Suwayomi-Server (Backend)         │
│  ┌───────────┐  ┌───────────────────┐   │
│  │   DB      │  │  Extension        │   │
│  │   (SQLite)│  │  Manager          │   │
│  └───────────┘  └───────────────────┘   │
└─────────────────────────────────────────┘
```

The client is a single-page application with a decoupled API layer. This means Chōra can theoretically be adapted to any backend that exposes a similar REST/WebSocket interface — though Suwayomi support is the primary focus.

## 📚 Library Management

### Smart Shelves
Chōra introduces the concept of **Dynamic Collections** — virtual shelves that auto-populate based on rules you define:
- "Recently Updated" — shows series with new chapters in the last 7 days.
- "Unfinished Business" — series with >3 unread chapters.
- "Mood Matches" — based on tags and user-defined weights.

### Metadata Enhancements
- Display alternative titles, publication status, and user ratings from Anilist/MyAnimeList (via Suwayomi extensions).
- Custom tags and notes that are synced back to the server.
