keiyoushi/extensions-source

Project introduction

This repository holds the Kotlin source code for the extensions published in the companion keiyoushi/extensions repository. The extensions are consumed by Mihon/Tachiyomi-compatible readers, letting users browse content from many providers through one extension system. The project is aimed at two audiences: reader-app users who want to install the extension repository, and Kotlin developers who want to add or fix a source.

The split matters: this repository is the source and build side (source:1), while the installable extension index lives in keiyoushi/extensions. The project states it is not affiliated with Mihon/Tachiyomi and that support requests should not go to those projects' official channels (source:4).

Quick start

For end users, the README points to the Keiyoushi Getting Started guide first, then to the add-repo page. Alternatively, copy this extension repository URL into the reader app:

https://github.com/keiyoushi/extensions/raw/repo/index.pb

The app fetches the index, after which the available extensions can be installed and updated from inside the app. The README does not include the in-app menu path for pasting the URL; the getting-started guide covers that step.

For developers, clone the repository, open it in an Android/Kotlin build environment, and submit source fixes or additions through the issue tracker and pull requests. Requests for new sources or bug fixes go through the issue chooser; the README notes that volunteer availability means requests may not be handled quickly, and some sources may be impractical to maintain (source:4).

Constraints and limitations

• The repository is extension source, not a standalone reader app; the extensions only make sense inside a Mihon/Tachiyomi-compatible client.
• New sources and fixes depend on volunteers, so there is no guaranteed turnaround, and some sources may be impossible or too costly to maintain.
• The project has no affiliation with the content providers it supports.
• Code is licensed under Apache-2.0, with copyright attributed to Javier Tomás and the original contributors (source:20).

HotRepo's take

This is a substantial community codebase: roughly 4.9k stars and 1.8k forks, with Kotlin as the primary language, and an active CI build workflow badge in the README. Those figures describe repository attention and contribution volume, not extension reliability or content legality. Because the installable artifacts are served from a separate repository and index file, users should treat the reader-app extension repo as the distribution channel and this repository as the place where source changes are reviewed and built.
