  1. codeberg.org/rereading/arcalib

    The fork referenced by the other fork. Stripping so-called #AI from #calibre is all the rage right now.

  2. Well, Citadel's AppImage won't launch (aborts after failing to create an EGL context or something), and Arianna seems to be too simplistic.

    I've got a directory full of Kobo-tweaked ePubs (via kepubify), and a directory full of PDFs. I want to add those two directories as-is, and be able to tag the ones that I've already read. 🤷

  7. Spending some time/energy this morning looking for a Calibre replacement. I only really used it for organizing my epubs/PDFs, not actually reading things. My Kobo shows up as a USB drive, so I don't need anything that has any special reader support.

    There are a *lot* of ePub reader apps, which isn't what I'm after.

    Going to look at Citadel and Arianna at least; are there any others worth trying?
