E-inn

E-inn is a basic EPUB reader supporting remote API imports and local file uploads. Books are stored in IndexedDB; settings and reading progress are retained via localStorage. Built as a single-page application with Vue.js, Vue Router, and epub.js for rendering. No accounts, sync, or advanced features, serves static assets. Minimal UI, lightweight, customizable interface.

Running

Run development server with:

docker-compose up dev

Run clean build with:

docker-compose up build

API reasoning:

If you have a userbase, you can use a centralized database for your content and the e-inn-reader as client. You only need to set some environment variables in the .env and build this project
