I would like to have a widget for KOReader which will show the books I've recently interacted with on the Android homepage.

This is very hard to implement in KOReader itself since it is not a native Android app.

However, making a widget like this as a companion app is possible. I tried to extract the history from two files (one history file in lua, another is the sqlite) to get the necessary data to render (cover, name, author, and in the order they are in the history.

The problem is, that I'm not an Android developer. A seasoned developer in this field will be able to create such an app probably in a day.

Is anyone interested in developing this?
