Extra Stuff

To run the code perfectly, you can use any python version between 3.8 to 3.10 and this project is made in python version 3.10.1

I tested MMDB on WSL which is basically linux environment in windows and the program is working fine on my end but I expect it to be buggy or worst, completly broken on actual linux system. If thats the case, open an issue on github and I will try to fix it.

I used jikan.moe api to get manga details. You can find the code here. To lower the load on server, there is a 1 second sleep between requests.

I didn't learned javascript yet and that is why this project doesn't have any JS in it and every function is done in python using routes. If you find any javascript, I most probably copied it from stackoverflow or documentations.
