It would just be nice to have it all centralized. There are sites that will tell me what I'm missing, if I've added everything to them. There's quite a few spreadsheets out there that will break down statistics of books that I input, but I forget which books to add to them unless I do them right away. There's an app on my phone I use to track reading times (but sometimes I forget). I want to see which books I'm missing in a series, or by a particular author. I want to see a list of the books I've read all the way though, and ones I started but didn't finish. I want those broken down by things like genre, publisher, author, series, etc. I want to know how many books I read this week, this month, this year. I want to know if that changes depending on the time of day, or the time of year. I want to know if that changes depending on the genre, or the author, or the publisher. I want to know how long it takes me to read a book. The things I'd like most in an e-reader are statistics. Dark Reader, keeping the place in the book where you stopped reading, statistics, are all fine and useful features. That's probably the 2 main things to have before the rest. So it should be "file structure agnostic/indifferent", as in : take the files how they are on disk, and don't force a structure for it to work.īasically that would mean having the possibility of a "folder view", to access the files how they are on disk, while having support for metadata (internal and external, mostly opf files, because shitty formats like pdf basically supports nearly no metadata and specially not the useful ones :(), and the ability to display the content according to those metadata (author, series, tags, custom fields, or any other thing). One thing, supporting Calibre library like some people ask could be nice, but there is already lots of software doing exactly that (replacement for the Calibre server, like Cops, Calibre-web and quite some others), while there is a LOT of people that want something that will allow them to keep their books organized like they want with the structure they want on their disks. Outside of that, your goals seems quite nice. If, for once, we could have people with the skills to do so pool up their strenghts and skills, to get one project to the finish line and make it great, instead of having multiple projects that stays (mostly) 1 man project, withle and die before they reach maturity, it would be great. It's an ebook server/reader/manager, that already check some of your needs, and is under dev, and he is looking for contributors/help. You might want to get in touch with the dev of pyshelf. I will be giving these suggestions some serious thought. There has been a good point made that maybe instead of creating a whole new platform that I devote my time to contributing to another open source project like pyshelf or Jellyfin. If you have any requests or feature recommendations let me know and I will add them!Įdit: To everyone with feature suggestions and suggestions to contribute to other programs, I thank you for it all. I would like to add whatever features people would like to see. Notification system with integrations possible with Pushbullet, mqtt etc. Management of permissions to books/genres within the libraryĪbility to add custom locations, no copying of your entire library to another location The application will integrate with Lazylibrarian so books added to the wishlist will be downloaded and processed by Lazylibrarian. Once I am happy with the progress I will post an update here with link to the GitHub repo, and I'll also upload to docker hub.Ĭompatibility with major ebook and comic formats: epub, mobi, PDF etc. It will be built on react with nodejs backend. This will be open source and I will create a docker image for anyone to use. After searching around for an eBook manager, I've found that what is available either doesn't suit my needs, or theyre not user friendly, or at least as use friendly as I like.
