Alexandria - FOSS Cross-Platform E-Book Reader (github.com)

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!

Starred. Hopefully it works well with e-ink android, like my boox.

I'll second the interest in working well on a boox. Mostly that means the ability to do decent contrast, which a reader should definitely do anyways.
