![]() Have you actually watched a 65 year old try and use the new content server - to browse a library and find interesting books to read, and then attempt to get them on a device like a kindle. Indeed the already existent external projects (calibre-web etc) - that dip into the calibre db and present a web interface show that people DO want to do this, but it's just an awkward approach really.Į isn't. It's easy to always say 'if you don't like it then *you* fix it' but here I am trying to work out why it was done as an embedded thing - in the first place, and certainly I can't work out why it would be done as a re-design effort - seems like that would have been the perfect opportunity to create a better modern infrastructure for future development work. That is - there are legions of folks with HTML/JS/CSS web dev skills (many more than Python skills I would venture to say).that might be willing to help if it is creating a nice set of templates - which is for many a more digestible task than getting stuck into a full blown bit of Python dev. ![]() If you open up the project to a standard templating system, rather than (as per threads here, I've not looked into the code) - make the content server some sort of non-replaceable embedded thing - then you of course open up the project to a whole group of developers you didn't perhaps have access to before as a project. Doesn't mean one is not able to discuss the relative merits of approaches. But I don't have the time to contribute to all of the projects I use to a significant level. Perhaps it results from a contretemps with one the so-called spelling correctors, rather than a novel interpretation of contemplor, contemplari, contemplatusĪnd in many cases, I absolutely do. Of course, should anything go awry I wouldn't expect any support.Īaah - I twigged as what a standard modern contemplating system might be are sure that shouldn't be a co-templating. Maybe something to do with artificial intelligence.įWIW : On Windows I've run the old server alongside the new library manager e.g calibre-server.exe from 32 bit install of version 2.xx alongside calibre.exe from 64 bit install of version 3.xx. I am aware of the various replacement projects but I just can't see why Calibre itself, given it was clearly being re-built in this area, would not have been updated to a more modern approach?Ĭurious - can you give me a link to and example of such a thing. Running a separate server is much more of a pain. I'm curious why the content server in Calibre was not built to support a standard modern contemplating system to allow for easy replacement? I would have though that would attract good web devs. as a library, it really does not work well (considerably less so than the previous version) - and the design is straight out of 90s. Nor are a bunch of folks I share a server with. I am also very much not a fan of the new content server.
