Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

manga-rafsun

A powerful command-line tool to automate searching, downloading, and extracting text from manga. Converts chapters into high-quality PDFs while preserving the original JPG images and generating OCR-accurate text files.

This is the NPM wrapper for the original python tool.

Features

  • Smart Search: Search by manga name or paste a direct URL from supported sites.
  • Chapter Selection: Download specific ranges (e.g., 1-10), from a starting point to the end (20-), or the first N chapters (10).
  • JPG + PDF Support: Downloads original high-quality images and automatically compiles them into a single PDF per chapter.
  • OCR Support: Extract English text from manga bubbles.
  • History Tracking: Automatically detects which chapters you've already downloaded and shows "Missing" chapters.

Prerequisites

Because manga-rafsun is a wrapper for a powerful Python ecosystem, your system must have:

  • Node.js (v14.0+)
  • Python 3.10+ installed and available in your PATH.

The wrapper script will attempt to automatically install the required python packages:

  • requests
  • beautifulsoup4
  • rich
  • Pillow
  • pytesseract
  • opencv-python
  • gallery-dl

Optional for OCR: Tesseract OCR engine must be installed on your system (apt install tesseract-ocr, brew install tesseract, etc.).

Installation

npm install -g manga-rafsun

Usage

Run the following command anywhere:

manga-rafsun

Downloads will be saved by default to a MANGA directory inside your user's home folder (~/MANGA/).
