CardChapter: Ministry

That's right, this is CardChapter... again!

CardChapter is a lightweight web software intended to provide a kind of... hybrid between "comic book" and "visual novel" that will look good on your phone's screen.

Ministry?

The original version of CardChapter lives at https://cardchapter.com (for now) and has its repository at https://github.com/cube-drone/cardchapter. It is ... a whole different software package, although it is intended to solve a similar problem to this one.

This is the second release, running on a completely different underlying technology (Rust and Preact, mostly), and started with the codename "Ministry" - so this is the Ministry edition of CardChapter.

Get Started

Currently the only way to install CardChapter is with cargo.

> cargo install cardchapter
> mkdir content_directory
> cd content_directory
> cardchapter init
> vim content.yml
> cardchapter serve
