MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Compiling Calibre's Web-Based Reader (pyj) as a Standalon & its API

duydl · 01-02-2025, 08:59 PM

I’m working with Calibre’s built-in eBook reader, specifically the pyj component in the codebase. It’s a Python-like scripting language (likely RapidScript) that compiles into JavaScript.

I’m attempting to compile this reader as a standalone application, but I haven’t found much documentation or examples to guide me. I’d appreciate help with the following questions:

- What steps or tools are required to isolate and compile this component into a standalone app?
- What API methods or endpoints does this reader use to sync with a running server?

My goal is to create a standalone version of this reader for broader use and to connect it with the server for syncing, mobile app, etc.

Thanks in advance for any insights, guidance, or resources! I hope this is the right place to ask this question.
