This FreshRSS extension allows you to directly comics like The awkward yeti, Buttersafe and more comics within your FreshRSS installation.

To use it, upload the freshrss-comicsinfeed directory to the FreshRSS ./extensions directory on your server and enable it on the extension panel in FreshRSS.

I will probably be adding more comics in the future (when/if I start reading them) but feel free to add your own with a pull request.

This FreshRSS extension uses the PHP extension DOM and XML.

As those are requirements by FreshRSS itself, you should be good to go.

To install an extension, download the extension archive first and extract it on your PC (or directly on your host). Then, upload/move the folder you want on your server. Extensions must be in the ./extensions directory of your FreshRSS installation.

Then go to your FreshRSS installation and activate the extension in the extension panel - https://localhost/FreshRSS/p/i/?c=extension - and activate it.

FreshRSS is a great self-hosted RSS Reader written in PHP, which is can also be found here at GitHub.

More extensions can be found at FreshRSS/Extensions.

Essentially create a new file for your comic on the folder ./comics/ see the other files there for examples, add it to be loaded on the './comics/load.php' file and add the comic to the list of comics on the ./comics/loader.php file.

Edit the extension.php file to make the match for the feed and the new function to generate the new image source.

Feel free for any pull request or to make a request for a new comic (if I have time I will add it).
