PixivFE

A privacy-respecting alternative front-end for Pixiv that doesn't suck.

Questions? Feedback? You can PM me on Matrix!

You can keep track of this project's development here.

Features

• Lightweight - both the interface and the code
• Privacy-first - the server will do the work for you
• No bloat - we only serve HTML and CSS
• Open source - you can trust me!

Hosting

You can use PixivFE for personal use! Assuming that you use an operating system that can run POSIX shell scripts, install go, clone this repository, modify the run.sh file, and profit! I recommend self-hosting your own instance for personal use, instead of relying entirely on official instances.

Check out this page. We currently have guides for Docker and Caddy.
