## What it is
YACReader is a cross-platform desktop comic reader and library manager written in C++ with Qt. It supports a wide range of comic archive formats (cbr, cbz, pdf, 7z, etc.) and includes YACReaderLibrary for organizing, searching, and tracking reading progress across collections.

## Use cases
- read cbr and cbz comic files on my desktop
- organize a large digital comics collection with tags and metadata
- track reading progress across my comic library
- fetch comic metadata from Comic Vine
- read pdf comics with zoom and double-page mode
- sync my comic library to iOS or Android devices
- search my comics collection instantly

## When to choose
- you need a dedicated comic reader with smooth 'comic flow' transitions
- you manage a large comics collection and want library organization, search, and reading tracking
- you need broad format support including rar, zip, pdf, 7z archives
- you want a free, open-source, cross-platform reader with mobile companion apps

## When to avoid
- you only need a general-purpose PDF reader without comic library features
- you want a web-based or browser comic reader as your primary tool
- you need DRM-protected comic store content
- you prefer a lightweight reader without library management
