PixivFE

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

Questions? Feedback? You can PM me on Matrix! You can also see the Known quirks page to check if your issue has a known solution.

You can keep track of this project's development using the roadmap.

Features

Lightweight - both the interface and the code
Privacy-first - the server will do the work for you
No bloat - we only serve HTML, CSS and minimal JS code
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.

To deploy PixivFE using Docker or the compiled binary, see the Hosting PixivFE wiki page. A guide on hosting a Pixiv image proxy is also available if you don't want to use a public one.
