CWA is an eBook manager, and it is popular in the selfhosted book space. Please see the changelog link for the full summary, it is well organized and so I didnāt copy it here.
gdbjr@piefed.social āØ9ā© āØhoursā© ago I tried to give this a go and migrate my calibre-web data over, but CWA refuses to see any of my media files, it sees the all my config, but not any media.
Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de āØ23ā© āØhoursā© ago If this project is closely based on Calibre it requires the [AIP] prefix.
FWIW Claude seems to be involved in 9 commits
The maintainer has made nearly 900 and there are about 50 other contributories
This isnāt a vibe coded project
Kirk@startrek.website āØ22ā© āØhoursā© ago CWA is the example I always point to as to why vibe coded software doesnāt make sense for broad use. CWA updates are slow (but detailed) which inspires many folks to āforkā it with vibe coded apps, but since CWAs last update in Feb, several vibe coded ācompetitorā projects have risen and fallen.
OP did not make it and canāt do a disclosure, its not required.
Its a fork of Calibre-Web not Calibre
hanrahan@slrpnk.net āØ21ā© āØhoursā© ago as an ignoramus whatās the go with this?
I use Calibre with my ebooks on an SSD and just upload via USB to my Kobo Colour
I donāt have many PDFs there be case they suck using them on my Kobo and I donāt have a tablet or anything bigger screened to read them on besides my desktop (yet)
Calibre-web and calibre can share a library directory. You can edit the .kobo/kobo/Kobo ereader.conf file to wirelessly sync to calibre-web instead of kobo.com (while still using kobo.com to buy new ebooks)
Kirk@startrek.website āØ11ā© āØhoursā© ago Small nitpick- this project isnāt Calibe-Web, itās a fork with extra features; the idea being that you donāt also need to be running Calibre.
Nice, Iāve been using this for a year or two now and itās become my main ereader server after a lot of time trying to land on one.
Will need to check if thereās finally a way to sync read progress between different versions of the same library item (i.e. PDF & epub). One of my use cases is for storing magazines and being able to read the epub on my phone, but the full PDF on my tablet and have the progress sync properly is a personal holy grail
I donāt have a use case, so I canāt test. This looks promising, though:
Shared Progress Across Copies: Progress is now stored against the Calibre book rather than the file checksum, so different copies/formats of the same book on different devices stay in sync. (PR #1225)
!!!
Oh thatās made my week and weāre only about 2 hours in to it, will update my server test that out in the morning

Iāll have to check this out, I use Kobo sync extensively.
