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!

This looks really promising for me. Is there any chance of opds support? I couldn’t find anything on the GitHub page.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=ooG0MQvKiEs
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
Well done!
Just a heads up though, there’s an existing server/client app combo also named Alexandria commonly used in public schools and libraries (in the US anyway). It’s more of a book inventory and check-out system, but the shared name for a related app could still cause some confusion, and might prevent schools and libraries from utilizing your helpful tool.
Just thought you should know. Your efforts deserve to stand on their own!
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 :)
is not there yet for me (no android), but i subscribed to releases, and i will be there to see this grow!
Idk how I didn’t know this was a thing, thanks! Also subbed to releases and excited to see this grow
