## What it is
Mango is a self-hosted manga server and web reader written in Crystal, supporting formats like CBZ, ZIP, CBR, and RAR with multi-user support, OPDS, reading progress tracking, and third-party download plugins. It ships as a single statically-linked binary or Docker image with all static files embedded.

## Use cases
- self-host a personal manga library server
- read manga in a browser on desktop and mobile
- serve cbz and cbr comic archives over the web
- track reading progress across devices
- access a manga library via OPDS
- download manga from third-party sources via plugins

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight, single-binary self-hosted manga server
- you need multi-user and OPDS support for a comic library
- you prefer a responsive web reader over a native mobile app

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software - Mango was discontinued in March 2025
- you require Windows or macOS native binaries
- you need features beyond cbz/zip/cbr/rar formats
