Kavita still handles the library and reading side, while InkDrop sits in front of it to manage wanted items, search, downloads, imports, and failure history.

The interface is being shaped more like Sonarr, Radarr, and Prowlarr than a loose set of scripts. It uses ComicVine data to identify series and issues, and it checks Kavita first so existing files are not treated as missing.

Searches run through a configured list of sources, with SLSKD named as a useful . Downloads can be passed to or SABnzbd when that fits the source.
