I've been building a web based comic book reader on and off for some time now. I am integrating it into a chrome packaged app and am struggling with reading zip and rar files via javascript.
Right now I am using bitjs (http://bitjs.googlecode.com/), but it is very slow and often results in corrupt images. I am thinking of using NaCL to use a native unzip / unrar in chrome application, but have no experience with NaCl or C++. Has anyone done anything similar?
Does it have to be a chrome packaged app? If not, take a look at appjs or node-webkit.
