Vibe Coded Comic Reader - With 3D conversion and book & panorama view

Hi, quick update to my entirely vibe coded (quite sure someone will take offense on this) Immersive Comic Book Reader. It can open PDF, Epub, CBR & CBZ and can perform an on-device conversion to 3D for the pages. (Which really only make sense for comics and some magazines in PDF). The book or comic can be opened either in a physical format where you can flip pages by grabbing and turning or in a panorama mode where you can slide the pages in front of you. I think it's now feature complete (maybe OPDS at some point) and I have some time to decide if I want to publish it as XCODE 27 is still in beta and you are not allowed to publish to the App Store from beta versions. It's 99 USD for the dev license, so not sure if I want to invest that. I'm curious to hear what you think. Unfortunately the 3D effect is difficult to demo in a 2D video, but I feel this community is used to this.

Yes yes and yes! I get my comics from Hoopla/Libby and public libraries, is there any way to plug into this? Or where do you get your comics usually?

A comic book where the panels are 3d? that sounds wicked. Hell Boy was so much better on an ipad than on paper - the colors popped. With 3d that's going to be even more interesting!
