This might be a potential duplicate of https://github.com/stumpapp/stump/issues/239. If so, it might be good to move any further discussion there so everything is in one spot.
caliber-web implemented a way to send files via email to Kindle devices
There are (very new and experimental) email to device features already in Stump, I believe they are available in the nightly and experimental tags but will be in the next versioned release.
I was maybe thinking of taking the implementation of calibre-web...so it can be imported into other projects like stump.
I'm all for a solution which would work for multiple media servers / other projects! You might be able to write an isolated library like Aidoku which has bindings to be consumed by (an)other language(s), but I'm not sure how feasible it might be since I assume DB interactions would be involved and each server handles things differently enough.
I will see how much I can do on my own, but getting help from someone experienced would be great!
I'm happy to use the other ticket as a brainstorming session to help get something out there! There is also the Discord, if you prefer.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently, OPDS is the only way to distribute content to readers, and I am unaware that any commercial reader supports it. On the other hand, caliber-web implemented a way to send files via email to Kindle devices and even hosted the Kobo API to trick a device into syncing with the library like it was Kobo's servers.
Describe the solution you'd like Make a similar feature set available for stump! While I do like Clibre-web, I do not like how Calibre manages the data in the background and how the user cannot rename things as he wants (database issues and so on). That is why I am using Stump now, but QoL features like this are currently missing.
Additional context I am aware, that other features and bugs are higher on the priority list, but it would be cool to discuss possible solutions to this Problem! I was maybe thinking of taking the implementation of calibre-web, which consists of the kobo.py, kobo_auth.py, and kobo_sync_status, and implementing a library of its own, so it can be imported into other projects like stump. I will see how much I can do on my own, but getting help from someone experienced would be great!
