Reporting a bug

Bug reports are always welcome and are a top priority. Please search the discussions first and issues to make sure the bug is new and hasn't been reported yet.

If you're in doubt or run into an unreported issue, go ahead and submit a bug report. Please include details like app version, OS version, and steps to reproduce the bug. Screenshots are also useful!

Feature Requests

If you have questions or a general feature request, please post them to discussions as a feature request.

Full Content Support

Sometimes Capy's full content mode doesn't work as expected on a site due to the chaos of the web.

When this happens, please submit a separate issue to support full content for that site: Full Content Request form

Writing and verifying full content parsers can be time consuming. If you find this useful, consider donating to show your support.
