angeblich kann man mit OpenReader jetzt auch drm-„geschützte“ bücher lesen, hat jemand von euch das schon mit Onleihe getestet?

There's a bobbing up and down wave motif in this, catching the action of the pumping steps as the competitors power into the corner. Interesting spinning motif to the ref's motion trail to the left.

I wrote and maintain a project of command-line #epub software called epub-tools. Today I helped someone build these tools from source code on #Termux running on #Android (ARM cpu). This is a first that I'm aware of. Very cool to see my stuff helping people on this platform. Also it's great to have users of your work and be able to help them. https://codeberg.org/dinofp/epub-tools/

A tight view of the action, as an Assault Siren tenses to carve leftwards, across the D’Viant’s path.

I'm building a Socrates-style fanfic recommendation bot for Discord and I'd love your input.

There was a bot on Discord I used before called Socrates, based on Flipper and I wanted to build something like that. Mine is using data from my fanfiction archive so it won't give proper recommendations until a few users like a few fics. After that it should get better the more it's used.

Forum post
Code repository
Link to a Discord channel to use the bot in this server
Link to connect Discord bot to a server
Telegram group to use the bot
Matrix room to use the bot

What it does

It's a companion bot for that self-hosted archive — think "your own AO3" that can also import/scrape from other sites. The bot gives you fanfic recommendations right in Discord, Socrates-style:

• Recommendations from your reading history — !recs, !fresh, !gems, !roll, with pagination (!next / !prev / !page 3)
• Cross-platform taste: AO3, fanfiction.net, and RoyalRoad are unified into one works model, so your history on one site feeds recommendations across all of them. No "500 favs limit" wall.
• Slash commands for search, quotes, downloads: /search, /ask (ask a question about a fic's content in natural language), /quote, /download (EPUB/MOBI/PDF straight to Discord)
• Library commands: bookmark, rate, kudos, block/unblock, updates on followed fics
• Community stuff: fic requests board, roadmap voting, links back to your web profile

The honest limitation

The recommendation engine learns from what people like on the archive — and right now my site has zero users. So "personalized" recs won't be proper until a few people like a few fics. The more people actually use it, the better it gets. Once there's real taste data to learn from, the recs should beat what you got from Socrates, because it's learning from actual engagement, not just what's popular.

So, what would you want?

If you were going to invite a fanfic bot to your Discord server, what would make you actually use it?

• Recs based on what? (fandoms you're active in, specific pairings, tone/vibe, length?)
• What's the one feature that would make it your default rec source?
• How do you feel about bots that track your reading history and suggest you what to read next vs. ones that give more generic suggestions?
• Anything Socrates used to do that you miss and wish existed elsewhere?

I'm building this solo and want to make something the community actually wants, not just what I think is cool. Fire away.

The SAS pack powering through the corner, in formation.

#epub #zines, maybe? For curated, copyable, existing in many places, human-made, personal publications?

Edge-definition close-ish to "zine" (because it's only physical if someone prints the epub) but also... a format that can be distributed and kept in local storage. Not subject to random "cloud changes," so stable... Readable on MANY devices and platforms... #DRMfree, of course

Thoughts?

Red trail in as a triangle from the left to right, intersecting in the middle with a green trail out to the right. A strong sense of objects moving through space during time (which is an underpinning concept of #Modernist / #Formalist #Sculpture).

I got a book from @internetarchive and it choked on my InkPointX device.

Claude was able to fix the file for the device while tracking down the multiple bugs in CrossPoint, CrossInk, and InkPointX...

Time to file some issues...

Finally completed the UI overhaul of epub-moe for v.1.1.0 - integrated design system, modernized buttons and panels, custom themes for the editor #epub #talkingbooks #buildinpublic https://github.com/burninc0de/epub-moe

If I could convert an #epub to an #infocom "game" file, then that #ebook could be read on any device with a #frotz interpreter... with the ability to save your place by... saving... just like you would in a #textAdventure
