mangadex-client's Issues

Filter out unsafe content for guests

Description

According to the API docs, there are four content ratings for manga:

Value	Meaning	🌶️ grade
safe	Safe content, everyone can read ✅	0
suggestive	Suggestive content	1
erotica	Erotica content, all about sexual desires, probably not for kids ⚠️	2
pornographic	Pornographic content, only for Adults 🙅	3

MangaDex currently allows unauthenticated users to view any manga, but I would rather prevent anyone from browsing anything that is above the 🌶️ grace 1 (erotica and pornographic manga). This is a personal choice. As a result, most of the changes will have to be made on the backend server, by enforcing safe and suggestive content (if nothing is set) or by filtering out erotica and pornographic if any filters are present.

The goal here is not to prevent children from accessing content they shouldn't see. Nothing keeps an under-aged user from creating and validating their account in order to see sensitive content. For privacy reasons, I will not store any information regarding the age of users on my servers (until necessary). As a result, checking their age will not be possible. Besides, it is extremely difficult to verify a user's legitimate age on the internet, unless they present their ID.

I simply want to filter out sensitive content for anyone would rather not like to stubble upon a hentai doujinshi of their favourite manga series. I happened to me and it really sucks 😦.

Tasks

• Define 🌶️ grade on the proxy
• Get account information on each request (see https://github.com/thedrummeraki/tanoshimu-proxy/blob/c01030e79f0abf577c46fc49dffc787ea81e4a14/server.js#L184 - this is a private repository)

A MangaDex user uploads a manga entry

A MangaDex user can authenticate

Tasks

• Add unauthenticated profile icon button (next to search bar) (#7)
• Implement login modal (#9)
• Persist user session (#10)
• Enable authenticated requests through proxy (Authorization headers) (#10)
• Handle MangaDex API 429 error for authentication

A Guest user registers

Description

Any unauthorized user, aka guest user, can browse the site, to the extent that MangaDex allows unauthenticated requests. Those requests include, but are not limited to:

• View manga entries
• View a specific manga entry
• View a manga's chapters
• Read a chapter
• etc.

Registering an account on MangaDex is one of those requests. We have to make clear that the user can register for a MangaDex account and not anything else.

Tasks

• Implement sign up modal
• Authenticate the user after sign up is complete
• Allow user to view account details
