• Web UI: Asynchronous downloading with aiohttp

Note: Each interface has a distinct backend implementation optimized for its specific use case.

🔧 Configuration

Each interface maintains its own setup.json with potential configurations:

Gogoanime base URL Download directory Preferred video resolution Download threads/concurrency

📋 Planned Enhancements

• Standardize backend across interfaces
• Implement pause/cancel in all interfaces
• Cross-platform compatibility
• Enhanced error handling
• Integration with anime tracking services

🚧 Current Development Focus

The Web UI (Streamlit) is currently the most advanced interface, with:

• Dynamic settings updates
• Efficient async download mechanism
• Upcoming pause/cancel features
