I love seeing awesome open source softwares continue to live after being bought or shutdown :D

But forgive my ignorance: why forking Mihon and not just use it as is ?

According to the comment above, added functionality that's not present in the original like adult sites. It was based off Tachy and now just moved to Mihon as the base.

Anyone know where to find updated extensions for western comics, like the readcomicsonline and xoxocomics?

What is this open-source software for?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

It's a reader app that supports extensions.

These extensions can be used to parse piracy sites, among other things, so a publisher went apeshit and harassed them into saying "fuck it".

Mihon/Tachiyomi base with some specialized feature for certain adult manga sites.

TachiyomiSy and Mihon are Android apps for reading manga
