From the peertube video description:

Want a beautiful, fast, private web reader that handles HUGE encrypted CBZ files without much effort? Then Gopherbook.

In this video, I walk you through everything

Intro & why I built this  
easy install / Docker setup  
Creating your first account (first user = admin)  
Uploading your first comics (including massive encrypted ones)  
How the magic password system works (it just remembers them!)  
Auto-organization by Artist / StoryArc  
Admin panel – toggle registration & delete comics  
Where everything is stored & backup tips

GitHub: https://github.com/riomoo/gopherbook
Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/riomoo/gopherbook
Gitgud: https://gitgud.io/riomoo/gopherbook

• 100% local, single binary
• Full encrypted/password-protected CBZ support
• Automatically tries all your known passwords on new files
• ComicInfo.xml metadata extraction
• Gorgeous dark UI with cover grid
• Per-user libraries & encrypted password vault
• no tracking

If you hoard comics like I do, this is the reader you've been dreaming of.

You should just link the github/gitlab/etc with screenshots.

No one will watch 40min of whatever video.

(If you are farming views then I understand why you did it this way.)

I'm a bit confused. The link is there in the description?

[–] Mylk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

OP edited the post.

I think they meant on the video description.

How is this better than/different from something like kavita

[–] non_burglar@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

cbz files are not encrypted, they're just zip files full of images with the xtension changed to "cbz". Similarly, CBR files are the same thing, but using rar compression.

If you are referring to zip "password protection", then I guess that's technically valid, although why anyone would rely on such trivially-cracked security is beyond me.

I'm not able to watch the video right now; is this actually using the gopher protocol?

remembers Gofer programming language from CS unit and shudders

No, it's written in Go. Thee language mascot is a gopher.
