NekoYaku's long-term goal: translate once, read it with zero tokens

Speech bubbles are where other translators come apart: half translated, or clipped at the edge.

The models have caught up. Epoch AI found that the price of reaching a given level of AI capability fell between 9x and 900x per year, and responses now come back in seconds. That makes it practical to read the whole page first and translate every line with the full conversation in mind, so a translation can keep the feel of the manga.

You can also bring your own key (BYOK) if you'd rather pay your own provider. Requests go straight from your browser to OpenRouter, Google Gemini or OpenAI, and use zero NekoYaku credits.

My long-term goal is to spend no tokens at all. This doesn't exist yet. Once NekoYaku has a community, I'd like to build a place where someone who has already paid tokens for a finished translation can share the text, so the next reader can load or upload it and see it on the page right away. Translate once, read everywhere.

If a community like that existed, would you share your finished translations, and would you load someone else's?
