On your car insurance with just fifteen minutes.

I still think about this post.

You’re probably holding your controller wrong.

That does make sense considering every other developed country has free healthcare and literally 100% of their young men spend every waking hour playing video games.

Nothing inherently, but it’s a rolling release, so the further away from the latest versions you are, the more likely something is going to prevent you from updating. Arch is the same way, but Steam OS is based on Arch snapshots, not a rolling release.

You kinda have to watch after rolling releases pretty constantly in order to keep them up to date and make sure they don’t get left behind.

The DNC would rather drive itself entirely into obscurity than allow any socialist into power.

I mean, only kind of:

Manjaro Linux is a really bad choice. I’d like my gaming console to be able to update if I turn it on after two years.

I’m not tongue kissing in between her teeth, man.

True. I apologize.

I just started working on a self hosted Android & iOS ereader app. I’d like to know what features you would like to see if you use this kind of app.

Current Planned Features

  • Support for EPUB, TXT, and HTML ebooks.
  • Syncing over WebDAV. (Bring your own server. I’m not hosting people’s pirated libraries.)
  • Multiple libraries (a WebDAV server is a library), and multiple users per library.
  • Current progress from offline reading will get synced when back online.
  • Dark mode.
  • Custom fonts and themes.
  • Text to speech.
  • Keep awake.
  • Orientation lock.
  • Open source. (GPL license)
  • Native apps using React Native.
  • Animations can be turned completely off.
  • Really good e-ink screen support.
  • Tablet and phone sized device support.

Background

I use a Boox Palma, but sometimes I don’t have it with me, and I’d like to read on my iPhone.

With the current ereaders I know of, there’s always some downside. Syncing costs money, rendering is janky, page turn animations can’t be disabled, themes cost money (really???), no cross platform support, etc.

I want to learn how to build native apps with React Native, so I’m using this as a learning project. I’m not trying to make money on it, so it’ll be open source, and you have to have your own WebDAV server with all your ebooks on it to sync.

Non-Planned Features

Some things I just can’t do or won’t help me learn, so I’m not going to do them.

  • PDF support. (Maybe in the future, but not the initial version.)
  • Web app. (I don’t want to host it.)
  • Kindle app. (React Native doesn’t support them.)
  • Syncing over anything but WebDAV. (I’ll be using WebDAV properties, and I’m not interested in doing any other providers.)

So I’d like to know, what are some features you would like to see, and what are the pain points you’ve experienced with your current ereader apps?
