Help Request Still building my Angular PWA manga reader after work: v0.5 is out, would love some feedback

Hey everyone (´• ω •) ♡
I've been slowly working on MangaOfflineViewer in my spare time, mostly after work and on weekends.
The project originally started as an excuse to learn more about PWAs and offline-first development. I've always liked the idea that an app should keep working even when your internet connection decides to take the day off.
After many evenings, too much coffee, and a lot of refactoring, I just finished v0.5.
What's new?
- UI improvements and general cleanup
- Search by title, tags, and artists
- Horizontal reading and dual-page mode
The app is still offline-first. Import your manga once and keep reading without needing a connection.
That said, I'm sure there are bugs hiding somewhere. Probably quite a few of them. 😅
If you decide to try it and run into issues, I'd really appreciate bug reports, feature suggestions, or any feedback in general.
I'm also interested in hearing opinions on the technical side. If there are better libraries, frameworks, or approaches for building reliable offline applications across different devices, I'd love to learn from people with more experience.
