The idea to extend the calibre-server (or the WebFrontend it provides) with more and more functions and features is very good I think, I like WebApps at all.
But I don't understand the need of wrapping the WebFrontend with a self implemented webserver and not just take standard technologies (Nginx/Apache + PHP/OtherLanguage + some DB like in thousands of other Desktop like WebApps nowadays) and just concentrate on the WebApps core functionalities...
