+# 🛠️ KemonoDownloader Refactor Notes
+
+## Overview
+
+The project was previously a large monolithic App Script, which made it difficult to maintain and scale. This version introduces a cleaner and more modular file structure to improve readability, separation of concerns, and future extensibility.
+
+**⚠️ Note:** Due to the ongoing refactor, some features may not work as expected. The code has been reorganized into a more maintainable layout, but certain logic or dependencies might still require updates to fully function in this new structure.

+
+## ✅ Goals of This Refactor
+
+- Improve **modularity** and make each component responsible for a specific domain.
+- Enable easier **testing**, debugging, and maintenance.
+- Prepare the codebase for future **feature expansion**.
+- Make UI and business logic **loosely coupled**.
+
+---
+
+## 🚧 Known Issues
+
+- Some features are currently broken or untested in this structure.
+- Further work is required to:
+  - Hook up UI components with new logic paths.
+  - Validate and migrate old script logic into proper services/core modules.
+  - Ensure settings and cookies persist correctly through the new configuration and data layers.
+
+---
+
+## 📌 Next Steps
+
+- Review and test all dialogs and UI flows.
+- Validate downloader services and API integrations.
+- Reconnect UI with backend logic through the `core/manager.py`.
+- Add unit tests and logging as needed.
+
+---
+
+## 📣 Found a Bug or Issue?
+
+If you find something broken or not working as expected:
+
+- **Open an issue** on the repository so it can be tracked.
+- Or **let me know directly** — feedback is super helpful during this refactor!
+
+Thanks for your patience and support during this restructuring!
