Terminally Open Source Interfaces

Look, no one is saying that it has to be perfect. But why all linux programs look like absolute dogshit, have enough usability issues to make you feel disabled, and smell like feet?

    calibre isn't really a good example of a linux interface. it's literal pajeetware and you have to be moronic to use it in the first place

      is there an alternative to calibre to managing and hosting a library of books, rating them, etc? Because so far I'm finding readers or stuff that depends on calibre.

        I tried yacreader and it seemed fine to me, just bothered me because it's a Qt app rather than GTK so I removed it
        don't really need one anyway since I keep and manage stuff on my kobo instead, but I'm pretty sure there's more than one alternative out there
        you could try this: https://github.com/Kareadita/Kavita

            yeah I did try it and for me it didn't work well at all. made a test folder with only a couple epubs in it, created a library like it wanted me to, and it didn't display any books in it despite them being in the folder, so I removed it
            I'm the one who suggested it btw, I didn't even notice from the screenshots it was a webapp, I wouldn't have suggested it if I had noticed kek
            then I tried

            (also me) and that one added the books fine but it didn't display anything when I opened them, only blank pages
            anyway I refuse to use calibre because it's pajeetware, I'll just keep drag-and-dropping shit into my kobo and read them with koreader, as god intended

            Kavita expect your books to be in a subfolder inside the book folder (optimally, it expects you to put them in a "series" folder)
            Kind of moronic but that's what it does.

    The big ass toolbars featuring the label under the icon and the absence of a menubar makes it look like it was designed for Mac OS X.

    99% of open source projects died and got hijacked by commies and roasties, thats why it hasnt progressed in 15 years. anyone who gives money to them or works free for them is a cuck.
