Add a basic yet functional inbuilt ebook reader while also having option to open epub files with other apps.

Currently we are calling methods to load API data directly in composeables, it can may cause duplicate API requests whenever screen recomposes due to any changes in mutable states the screen is observing, this can be solved by making API calls inside scope of LaunchedEffect with a fixed key eg: true, which will not change on recompositions and avoid duplicate API calls.

Hii can you please add light novel also: https://github.com/dipu-bd/lightnovel-crawler

When there are lots of item in book library fetching and validating epub files can take quite sometime and blocks the main thread, which can cause choppy animations and make UI feel laggy. This can be fixed by moving file validation code inside viewmodel's coroutine scope and adding a kind of progress bar in library screen while it's validating ebook files.

Steps to reproduce

1. when opening book from library when it's not opened before and device is disconnected from the internet.
2. when changing book catalogue language while devjce is disconnected from the network.

Expected behaviour

Shouldn't crash and open book normally in 1st scenario, whereas should show network error screen instead of crash on 2nd case.

Actual behaviour

Crashes in both cases as of now.

When I try to open an ebook from the launcher, myne crashes instantly.

As title suggest, It would be nice if it can be implemented or atleast change the default storage location to somewhere in Home directory(or whatever it's called in android) rather than in Download or Documents.
I request this because I sync them to another system with syncthing & don't want directories that don't use regularly to be in there, since the books can be read from inside Myne & we can always copy the files if we need them somewhere else.

Hi,

I make the Spanish translations for the app but when I tried to push the changes, my push was rejected

remote: Permission to Pool-Of-Tears/Myne.git denied to Dolanpls.
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/Pool-Of-Tears/Myne.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403

I'm in a new branch called 'spanish-translation' so I'm not trying to push into 'main' directly

Steps to reproduce

1. when click on book (Home, Search)
2. Go to new page (waiting page)
3. vanish waiting page
4. did not shown the book page and I have a restart app error like the picture

Expected behaviour

show the book screen for reading

Actual behaviour

I sow this

for every books I take this error

When you try to download a book with filesystem forbidden characters in its name. And it keeps trying and trying. An example Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest: A Trivial Comedy for Serious People.

Book thematics are shown on the scrollable book list but aren't on the book page. I thought maybe i could see the whole list of thematics it fell into but i couldn't.

Describe the solution you'd like

Show the categories/thematics on the book page.

How will you/everyone benefit from this feature?

Seeing some information on the book list and not on the book page is misleading, so people won't be mislead.

Additional context

At first i thought these categories might be explorable, might be available filters for my search. Couldn't find if they were, but ran into this issue nonetheless!

I've just noticed your app has the android:usesCleartextTraffic flag set – which is only needed if you have to access sites without SSL/https. As Gutenberg supports HTTPS, I wonder what for the flag needs to be declared. Can you please shed some light? Thanks in advance!

Problem

This is happening because apparently the gutendex API the app uses seems to be down, see garethbjohnson/gutendex#28

Solution

• You can either wait for gutendex API to come back online
• Or you could use this APK which is a development build of upcoming release where I've switched to my own instance of gutendex API hosted on my personal server.

Myne-v1.2.0-alpha.apk

I'll keep this issue open until next release or until gutendex API comes back online.

Use the new splash screen API to avoid two splash screens (one by system and one by app) on Android 12 and above.

Gutenberg has a lack of selection

Describe the solution you'd like

Add ability to use custom sources for books

How will you/everyone benefit from this feature?

This will greatly increase the scope of the application

Additional context

No response

Add swipe actions in library items like swipe left to delete and swipe right to maybe share the epub file.

Try to improve mapping between google books API and Gutenberg further by manually investigating some book titles and adjusting parameters accordingly.

Please add support the Android 13 Themed Icons.

If it is possible, add opportunity to open epub, fb2, or other formats. All these formats contain metadata to display names, authors, and book covers.

Steps to reproduce

1. Turn on the TalkBack service in Android accessibility settings.
2. Open Myne
3. Highlight any of the items in the bottom navigation bar to let TalkBack read their label.

Expected behaviour

TalkBack should read a useful label for each item, e.g. categories, downloads and settings.

Actual behaviour

The screen reader only recognizes a label for the start item. The other items in the navigation are spoken as "unknown" or some nonsense text, in case that automatic icon descriptions are enabled in TalkBack's settings.

Standard Ebooks provides project gutenberg books with standardized formatting, various editorial tweaks, and rich metadata. They also provide OPDS feeds to browse their collection. Apparently, this is locked behind a Patreon donation, but Foliate sources from SE so I assume they make an exception for FOSS projects.

Catch API errors properly & show relevant error messages.

Steps to reproduce

1. find a book with a long name
2. open its book page
3. see how its title is not rendered in full

Expected behaviour

The title of a book shold always be rendered in full.

Actual behaviour

Well, it isnt'.

After update to 1.1.0, when opening the home page or a category page the loading spinner appears for a while then the app crashes. If I switch to the main category page, library page, or settings page quick enough the crash does not occur.

Through the system TTS engine, read the book aloud

Steps to reproduce

1. have ane Android 11 device
2. tap the "Material You" button in the options
3. see bug

Expected behaviour

The message (i believe it's called a toast box or something ?) should stay long enough on the screen for the user to read it.

Actual behaviour

A message appears for a flash second while the button is seemingly activated, but disapears as soon as the button appears to revert back to its inactivated state.

It might be because the message is automatically hidden when the app "reverts" back the buton and UI to its previous state, although it didn't change the UI to begin with.

Hello,

Long time i was looking for an app like this one, so thank you !

Do you plan to add possibility to download multiple ebooks by author and language ?

Steps to reproduce

Sometimes, it feels quite random, the internal reader scrolls to the beginning of the book. Maybe I'm doing something accidently with touch movements, but I wasn't able to reliably reproduce the behavior. It happened twice to me in two days.
This in combination of the lack of a progress indicator makes the internal reader almost unusable for me.

Expected behaviour

Only scroll to the beginning of the book in well defined cases and don't let such an action be easily triggered on accident.

Actual behaviour

It scrolls to the beginning of the book unexpectedly.

This is very nice client for accessing books available in public domain. Adding support for Public Domain Audiobooks could really improve the app further.

Using GitHub releases.

Currently (as of 2023-03-16) i can find books either by category or by "text search"

It would be great to have the possibility to see only books that are in a language that i can read.

Describe the solution you'd like

One of the following:

• percentage of the book that we have read so far
• number of pages that we have read / total no. of pages

How will you/everyone benefit from this feature?

It will let me and everyone else know how far they have progressed within the book and how much of the book is still left to be read.

Additional context

The internal reader of the app looks really nice so I would prefer to use it instead lf just switching to some external reader.

I was searching for tales myths and legends and dovnloaded a good bunch of books. Unfortunately i couldn't remember which ones i did download…

Describe the solution you'd like

The app could remember which ebook pages have been seen, or even downloaded.
This could be seen both on the ebook list and ebook page with an eye icon 👁️ for a page seen, and a dowload icon 📥✅ for downloaded ones.

Further down the line, it could even become a sorting filter to hide seen/downloaded ebooks.

How will you/everyone benefit from this feature?

This will help anyone willing to read new books to sort out the ones they have already seen before.

Describe the solution you'd like

Being able to search by thematics.

Reading digital content often causes eye strain, especially during low-light conditions. The app lacks a sepia theme option, which is known to reduce eye strain while maintaining readability.

Describe the solution you'd like

Requesting a sepia theme for the app. Sepia tones offer a soothing reading experience, imitating aged paper and providing a comfortable contrast between text and background.

How will you/everyone benefit from this feature?

Users who read extensively, especially at night, will benefit from reduced eye strain. The sepia theme offers a visually appealing and comfortable reading experience, aligning with current trends for eye-friendly interfaces.

Additional context

Research supports sepia themes for minimizing blue light's negative effects on sleep patterns. Adding this feature could enhance user satisfaction, attract more users, and increase app usage.

if someone prefers to use a different reader app they can disable it from settings, as it may be confusing for some people to understand if they don't have any ebook reader apps installed on their device.
