gallery-dl UI

Tiny web UI for gallery-dl bulk gallery downloads that packs each gallery into a .cbz comic archive.

Layout

media/pictures/
├── inbox/                    # single downloads → <Title>.cbz lands here
└── gallery-dl/
    └── <site>/               # bulk downloads → <Title>.cbz inside site folder

Site name is normalized from the URL host (greenshines.com → greenshines).

Build

nix build .#default          # or: go build .

Generated assets (index_templ.go, static/style.css) are committed, so the build needs no templ/tailwind toolchain.
