A minimalistic cross-platform eBook reader built with Tauri, Epub.js, and Typescript - GitHub - btpf/Alexandria: A minimalistic cross-platform eBook reader built with Tauri, Epub.js, and Typescript

I would like to introduce Alexandria, A FOSS ebook reader that I have been working on for a little over a year.

This project was heavily inspired by an existing application for linux called Foliate. However, Foliate lacked some features that I wanted. In particular, cross platform support (Desktop & Mobile), A split screen reader, and cross platform syncing.

While far from complete, I would love feedback on what has been done so far. Currently, only Linux and Windows builds are available. But though utilizing Tauri and responsive UI, the app should be easy to bring across platforms.

Thanks!

    Sadly it seems like the AppImage doesn’t work on Nobara (Fedora spinoff). Any chance we can get a flatpak for it?

      I think this is happening because I built against a newer version of glibc. Very sorry about this. I will try to get a Flatpak out as soon as I can. Btw, what screenshot tool are you using? Love the transparency.

        It’s Gnome’s default screenshot tool, it adds some padding by default :)
