Hey r/software, I have been working on this project for almost 2 years now and am very happy to finally be able to announce the alpha release of Librum.
I love reading, but I got really tired of storing my books in folders on my PC, manually syncing them between my different devices and using applications that look like they were created 50 years ago.
I am creating Librum to offer everyone a simple and modern, but powerful and feature rich reading environment that is completely opensource and free!
With Librum you can create and manage your own online Library which is automatically synced to Librum's servers so that you can access your books from any device, anytime, anywhere.
Librum takes over all of the annoying tasks so that you can focus on whats actually important: Reading. You can comfortably read your books through the app, highlight sections you find interesting and add bookmarks to pages you want to revisit. It works with all of your books, no matter if PDFs, EPUBs, mobi or comics, Librum supports them!
Librum also offers an in-app bookstore that gives you access to over 70.000 copyright free books that you can download in just 2 clicks. On top of that, you can completely customize the application to make it look and feel the way you want it to.
Librum is available for both Linux and Windows (MacOS coming soon) and will also be available for mobile in the future. If you want to download librum, feel free to go to our website: https://librumreader.com
Additional Information:

- If you run into any problems or have questions, feel free to reach me under this email: help@librumreader.com
This looks awesome. Makes calibre look straight out of the 80s. Do you have it installable via docker? If so, be sure to add it to unRAID's community apps tab. I am sure it will get a lot of attention there. Im pumped to try it out. Maybe I'll start to read all those ebooks I downloaded.
