Voltpad

simplistic wattpad frontend (ala invidious or nitter) written in Deno

Why?

Imho the Wattpad website is insufferable to use. The layout feels broken half the time, stories only take up the middle third of the screen (along with the rest of the site), fragmented and weird search page(s), inability to directly search by tag, the dumbass algorithm (especially on the homepage) which has never actually recommended me a story I'd like, on and on ad infinitum The mobile app is also really bad but I cannot be bothered to get into the many design sins it contains

Setup

1. Install Deno
2. Copy config.template.ts to config.ts, and fill out/change the information as you see fit
3. Run the index.tsx file deno -A index.tsx
4. Congrats, you are now running Voltpad

Contributing

You probably shouldn't because the code is jank, but I mean you can

FAQ

Why is the favicon a W and not a V?

The favicon is two Vs, not a W. Are you blind 🙄
