Hi Christoph,
Hope you're doing well. I’ve been following your new project and it looks really promising, so I wanted to reach out. I’d definitely be interested in helping test it as things move forward — I run a pretty large Calibre setup and would love to put it through real‑world stress.
Two features I rely on heavily in Calibre are duplicate detection and full‑text indexing/search. Are those already implemented in your system, or planned for a later phase? They’re core parts of how I manage my library, so I’m curious how you’re handling (or planning to handle) those workflows in the new architecture.
I also had a technical question about the database model:
Is metadata.db still required, or is your PostgreSQL database intended to be the primary/only metadata store?
My library is over 50k books, and the SQLite metadata.db tends to corrupt more often than I’d like. If your project allows relying on PostgreSQL alone, that would solve a major stability issue for me.
Thanks again for putting this together — happy to help test, stress, and break things if that’s useful.
Best,
TM

I have developed a new Calibre blazor web content server Calibre.Web.
It has the following features :
1. It maintains it's own postgre book database which is faster and is synced with your Calibre database
2. You can read books online.
3. You can convert selected books to other formats.
4. You can download selected books with the Calibe.Web download client for Windows or Linux. You can also import selected books directly in your local Calibre database.
5. You can upload or import EPUB books.
6. The App is multilingual in the final version in English and German until now in English. You can also add your own language and translate it automatically with DeepL or Bing translator API.
7. You can search in Google books or Internet Achive for ebooks and download them.
8. It is available for Windows and Linux.
The develpment is almost done and i am looking for people who want to Beta test it. So if you are interested in beta testing send me a email to: christophweller@dcm-works.net with info about the OS you are using.
Regards
