All,
I'm currently working on a web application for viewing a Calibre library. It supports (as of svn revision 3) viewing by Author, Series, and individual Books.
It does not, as of yet, support viewing by Tags. This is mainly because I'm lazy and haven't written that yet.
That's okay, because it's
open source! That's right readers, I'm looking for other Java developers to help improve this new project.
The reasons I created it:
1) I'm supporting Aldiko, Stanza, and generic OPDS readers from one site. I had to generate
three catalogs per run with Calibre2OPDS. For a lot of authors. I then had to rsync all those tiny files. Needless to say, this took a long time.
2) Eliminating the file catalogs saves over 200mb of data for my setup (see: #1 for why.)
3) I wanted a little something different.
4) I like tinkering with things. I'm a java engineer by trade.
So, let me know what you think. I'll try and provide what limited support I can here in the comments.
Major props to the Calibre2OPDS guys for paving the way.
(
Performance note: for me, with over 1000 books loaded it only takes 125mb of memory. I'm hosing out of the EC2 cloud on a
tiny instance type machine and it works great.)
So, if you want to check it out, head on over:
