The Next Ubooquity

Then why not consider open sourcing Ubooquity?  It's barely been updated in over four years, if you have no interest in maintaining it, let the community take it over.

Kavita is not bad, but far from Ubooquity in term of books' management, from my point of view.

Kavita sucks, especially for big libraries. Ubooquity is way better. Al tough it could use some updates, the biggest drawback is that there isn't an overview page of what stuff is being read.

Other then that, awesome product :)

I even tried Kavita, but the way the app is indexing comics is like how people index an artist with various albums of music. Totally not what I want or need. I want it to index a folder and not based on what is in the filename, therefore it was not a solution for me. Although it is really quiet around Ubooquity: the program is doing what it should do for me. do I need more? Not really, am I happy with what is is right now: yes, could the Ui different: yes and therefore we have themes .. the only thing I can imagine is that JAVA is consuming a bit too much resources in my VM .. and it does not keep up with the java versions (but why upgrade .. )

Well, a currently reading section would be nice. Ubooquity is really great especially with the Comixology theme.

Considering that Kavita's own FAQ has the following, it seems like even the author acknowledges that the two are not playing in the same space:

• Q. I really like Kavita, but can it mirror or just use my folder structure?
• A. No, Kavita uses filenames for parsing and is not designed for using folder structure. Please don't ask for this feature, it will never be implemented. If this is important to you, Ubooquity can be used and delivers this experience.

I would love to have some features like inviting people (i.e. my brother) with an e-mail and the account is created with their own password instead of creatinfg an account with a password and not being able to change the password once logged in.

We have that functionality in our latest version. You can invite with an email, they signup and set their password and you don't need to manage their account (unless you want to remove some roles, like Download from them)

I meant "I would love to have in Ubooquity...", I know that you have it. But, as mentionned already, Kavita is very far from what Ubooquity offer especially with the Comixology theme.

By the way, User ID and Password is an authentication from another century. I would love (as well as in Ubooquity) to have MFA or Google auth. features.

I have installed once Kavita, but I quickly came back to Ubooquity. As I said, form my point of the two major improvements I would love to see in Ubooquity are the possibility to invite someone and the authentification method.

To be honest, right now I'm struggling to find time to finish the big refactoring I started a few years ago.

New feature will come after that.

I don't like relying on GAFAM for authentication (because it means telling them each time you login), but I guess it would ease the authentication setup process a lot.

Thx Tom.

Anyway, I am very happy with what you did, and thanks again for your great job.
