Ability to add comics to your collection and track if you have read them or not would be a really nice edition to metron, maybe something like how league of comicgeeks does.
Also being able to access this feature via an api would be nice, so that you are able to update stuff from an app built upon the api, or automatically track stuff from apps like tachiyomi.

This is something I've given some thought about, and it seems like a feature that would be pretty useful.

Never used this feature in LOCG or GCD, so it's worth checking out their services to get a good idea of the requirements that would be needed to implement this.

Would this be like MyAnimeList.net, Kitsu.io, AniList.co?

No idea, since I've never seen those services. How do they compare to what League of Comic Geeks provides?

They are pretty different from league of comic geeks as manga don't really have well defined issues/chapter (closest thing is volumes ) like comics do so the trackers in the manga front are more so for the series where you can track how many chapters for a series you have read and how you rate that series. Unlike with League of Comic Geeks where you pretty much give the rating per issue as issues are really well ddefined in comics and track if you have read an issue and if you own that issue.

Probably the best option would be to have tracking like how League of Comic Geeks does it with the ability to also quickly update how many issues you have read overall and rate a series overall so sort of an hybrid and metron can just assign the issues as read own it's own and give the overall rating to the issues which haven't been manually rated yet and not just being stuck with rating individual issues like in League of Comic Geeks. This will also allow easier tracking capabilities via apps like tackiyomi which automatically update your progress when you read an chapter/volume in manga.
