kthoom is a comic book archive reader that runs in the browser using client-side open web technologies such as JavaScript, HTML5, the File API, Web Workers, and Typed Arrays. It can open files from your local hard drive, IPFS, or Google Drive.

NOTE: kthoom loads in local compressed files and decompresses them in the browser, which means that kthoom has an implementation of unzip, unrar and untar in JavaScript. This code has been migrated to its own library: BitJS, a more general purpose library to deal with binary file data in native JavaScript.
