Thank you so much. I would be open to renaming it and even taking suggestions in the future.

No. PDF is currently out of scope. The app is built around EpubJS and is really more designed for responsive book formats. Including PDF support would mean incorporating something like pdf.js and would require tons of effort and rewrite which is off course at this moment.

Plain text files are also not supported currently, But this can be included for the 1.0 release. Thanks!

I have a feeling this will be a heavily requested feature. So there is a chance :)

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.

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!
