This repo has both the scraping and matching utilities to find mangas which are close in content to others. The idea is to create a recommendation system outside MangaDex since there isn't one and thus allow for users to discover other content.
This is a fork of https://github.com/similar-manga/similar with the primary changes being optimizations for processing and scraping to run this in a github workflow.

go get .
go build
The application uses cobra for flags cli processing.
running ./similar will give you a list of commands.
