たてがき帖
An Android app for reading web novels in vertical text (縦書き), and for going on reading without a
signal.
- Works from 小説家になろう, カクヨム and 青空文庫: search and ranking through the official なろう API,
カクヨム works shared or pasted in, 青空文庫 from its own list of works.
- Ruby, emphasis dots and upright numbers, laid out by the formatter of
AozoraEpub3 (
core/).
- Only works on the user's shelf are fetched: the episode being read and the next few, one request at
a time. Kept text stays inside the app; there is no export.
- The author and a link to the original are always one tap away.
This app is unofficial and is not affiliated with 小説家になろう, カクヨム or 青空文庫.
