Frequently Asked Questions
Well I’m lying, no one asked any of these question and I don’t even known if there’s a single person that is going to read this documentation or use my program but i think writing documentation is good practice. (Hire me senpai >_<)
Why the name Manrododex ?
Well it’s a combination of three different words : Man/rodo/dex
Man: for Manga.
rodo: for the load part of download in japanese ダウンロード which is ロード in katakana or rōdo in romaji.
dex: for the dex in MangaDex
Joining all these information we get : Manga daunrodo dex, which makes no sense.
