Strange Horizons (update)

edlinfan · 02-05-2017, 07:18 PM

Hi everyone,

I'm an avid reader of the Strange Horizons magazine of speculative fiction, and for several years I've used Anoved's Calibre recipe (which he shared here on MobileRead in 2012).

The magazine re-designed its site in late 2016 and the changes were extensive enough to break that recipe. I've written my own recipe that takes the changes into account. You can download it at:

https://github.com/PeterFidelman/StrangeHorizons2017

This is my first Calibre recipe, so I welcome feedback and suggestions for improvement. I've "exercised" it on a bunch of back issues and it seems to be working well. I hope that someone besides me finds it useful!

Feel free to submit a pull request, that way your work will get included in calibre and others can benefit from it easily.

Or if you find pull requests to cumbersome let me know and I can just take the recipe from your repo

Thanks. I intend to eventually submit a pull request, but first I need to modify the recipe to automatically grab the latest issue instead of taking a hard-coded date. This will make it behave like the other recipes that are currently packaged with Calibre.

All right, pull request created and submitted:
