    My Girlfriend Is a Villain - Ch. 46 - Hibernation

    @TaSAi Thanks for picking up My Girlfriend is a Villain! =) For your first attempts at scanlating, it's quite good! =) Maybe the images are a bit "noisy" due to JPEG compression. If it comes from the raws, you can try using a denoiser like Waifu2X (http://waifu2x.udp.jp/). Aside from that, the...

    @UnnamedMinecrafter Yeah, the watermarks are gone! =)

    Release That Witch - Ch. 146 - Shadow Islands

    @azraei97 Yeah, it doesn't completely the watermarks. But it makes redrawing easier. On this release, the watermarks aren't redrawn.

    Release That Witch - Ch. 146 - Shadow Islands

    @Sisig I don't think it'll really escalate like when there was that exodus of big groups. There'll be a bit of competition for the series, but I don't think the coments thread will become as entertaining as watching Gladiator. @UnnamedMinecrafter Thanks for releasing, I guess, but, well, even...

    Release That Witch - Ch. 146 - Shadow Islands

    @UnnamedMinecrafter Bruh, I don't mind you releasing early, but please don't put translation notes on the witches' boobs. There should also soon be releases with better quality (as a joint between 0100001 and Heroz Scanlation), so it's not necessary to inflict yourself the suffering of Paint &...

    Interesting Concepts for Manga

    @Tamerlane How about an isekai series where Jesus Christ would reincarnate in a weird world after dying on the cross? Or something about the tortoise that killed the ancient Greek warrior Aeschylus (he was old with a shiny bald head, a bird looked for a nice rock to break the tortoise shell to...

    Home-made reverse-engineering tools to un-watermark of bad raws

    Some groups use watermarked raws to scanlate. Although it is still better than nothing, such bad quality can decrease the readers' enjoyment (and it is not even compliant with Mangadex's rules if the watermarks are obstrusive). But there is hope! =) It turns out the watermarking process can be...

    A new way to support MD: paid promotions for any manga on the site. Might also help to find overlooked stuff.

    @ikemen Do you mean something like the "featured titles" and "new titles" list on the main page? (something like "promoted titles" or something?) Isn't it already good to get 500 views? I mean, before the Internet existed, getting that many people to read your releases would have required much...

    Implement anti web scraping protections in the site :rejected:

    @programmerx Why on Earth would MD need anti-scraping protection? Aren't MD's servers overloaded enough for us to be glad that some people read on Manganelo? Fighting the potential of the Internet to share information is a weird idea. Taking advantage of it is much smarter. You may notice that...

    Some possible suggestions to help reduce the negative effect of 1/10 ratings

    Rating can be tricky indeed. There are some people rating every series with a 1, and even more people rating every series from 5 to 10. When there are thousands of readers, then a bunch of pranky people can't really change the rating much. But since lots of people just give good ratings to...

    Creation of a "High-tech scanlation" forum category

    Indeed, a child board would already be enough.

    Creation of a "High-tech scanlation" forum category

    I've noticed there is a lot of MD's announcements and overall concern in the scanlation community about high-tech topics like optimized image compression, user interfaces for javascript readers, etc. Let's face the hard reality head-on: using Photoshop is far from being the most advanced...

    New servers and file optimisation request!

    @Holo I've tested PNG gauntlet and Pingo. They work well, but they're painfully slow. Although you will save space and bandwidth, you will need a lot of computational power for compression. In the long run, it might be interesting to create a home-made low-level PNG optimizer.

    New servers and file optimisation request!

    @ixlone In the end, is the problem only that some images are saved as 16-bit PNG when 8-bit PNG would be enough for most of them? Should we also refrain from upscaling images with tools like Waifu2X? (since larger images will make files larger).

    Advertisements on the site

    @Holo Actually, these ad banners are cool. Even if the ads trial ends, you might keep something like that as links to cool series on Mangadex, or to show the staff favourite fanart pics of the day/week/month.

    Folding@Home Announcement

    @BraveDude8 I can't help but feel extremely uneasy about this Folding@Home stuff. 1) Why asking individuals with their cheap computers and internet connection? The Worldwide LHC Computing Grid seems better suited if computational power is really what's needed to fight the coronavirus (which is...

    @BraveDude8 What if they're just mining bitcoins with that computational power?
