Following some feedback, people are having trouble with dead sources, and this is creating frustration when trying to find manga.

So, I think that for the future of the app, it would be simpler to remove sources that are confirmed as dead and leave a message next to those that need fixing (which could be displayed on the app if necessary).

In addition to removing dead sources, this will reduce the number of tests and a little bit of weight, and even in the folders it would be easier to find your way around.

On the user side, each time the app is updated, we could display a pop-up informing users that some manga have had a source removed and include a button that links to a page listing the manga concerned.

On the page, users could manually fix the manga via the alternative option or select all to automatically fix them with the sources that were activated by the user.

For now, I've only done this on French sources in case the idea isn't suitable.

Yes, that's why I left sources that are broken but can be repaired.
What I'm talking about here are sources that won't be coming back.
If you want, you can leave them (we can even create two different @broken tags, one for sources that need to be fixed with a message for users and another to specify that the source will not be coming back), but what we really need to do is create a pop-up when the app is updated that warns users that they have X manga on broken sources and that, as a result, redirect them to a page to fix them as explained in the first message.

Here are two of the problems that have been reported to me :

  1. Having to search for non-broken sources (even if there is an icon and a message).
  2. Realizing that the manga we follow have been on broken sources for two months.
