Citadel has been rewritten in React. While I love Svelte, the tooling story is too difficult still. Biome does not support Svelte (requiring Prettier for formatting as well as Biome) and Storybook only supports hacks to get stories working. I still use Svelte on other projects, and would love to revisit the topic in the future, but now we're making progress with React!

Here's a demo of the new React UI, using Mantine:

This is an auto-generated release for the latest commit on the main branch.

[!CAUTION] Citadel is very early in development. It will crash. A lot. It may corrupt your ebook library.

Back up your Calibre library regularly if you use Citadel on it.

Initial pre-release!

Hi folks! Here's a very early build of Citadel. You're able to view your ebook library, filter, and add new books. You can't (yet) see or edit tags, edit most metadata, edit authors in bulk (or at all really). Lots to do — in time!

For now, a build. macOS (Apple Silicon) and Ubuntu/Debian & AppImage builds are attached. No guarantees they work at all! If you run into issues, please report them here on GitHub :)
