Bookx

An MVP in progress:

• Mockups
  • Mockup for Library
  • Mockup for Reader
  • Mockup for editor
• An ebook reader with .epub support
  • Context menu for each book (delete, rename book, info)
  • On click switch the carousal to the book
• Ebook editor for .epub files

Pronunciation

The app is pronounced just like "Books" but the "s" replaced with "x", as in an extension of something that manages your books. And not "Book-ex" :)

Build & Run the project

Building the project

flatpak install org.gnome.Sdk//43 org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.rust-stable//22.08 org.gnome.Platform//43
flatpak-builder --user flatpak_app build-aux/com.adhadse.Bookx.Devel.json

To run the project

flatpak-builder --run flatpak_app build-aux/com.adhadse.Bookx.Devel.json bookx

Please note that these commands are just for demonstration purposes. Normally this would be handled by your IDE, such as GNOME Builder or VS Code with the Flatpak extension.
