Oooh, extremely nice!
Hard to argue that a standalone (Thorium-less) Rust-based CLI (or WASM single-page web interface) is anything other than a much nicer user experience!!!
Curious though, am I reading it correctly that the extent to which spoofing goes when fetching the encrypted epub is to set the User-Agent to "ThoriumReader/windows-mac-linux/1.1"?
I guess one reason I opted for the "remoting Thorium approach" (other than the obvious of not having the cryptographic know-how to implement what's in that radicle repo), is that I perceived doing so (perhaps naively?) as being a little bit safer in terms of potential risk of being e.g. blacklisted by stores or license providers...
Do you know if Thorium itself uses that User-Agent internally? Or whether this simple spoofing approach has otherwise been used widely in the past without issue?
