A few weeks ago, I shared BookLore, a self-hosted web app designed to help you organize, manage, and read your personal book collection. I’m excited to announce that BookLore is now open source! 🎉

You can check it out on GitHub:

What is BookLore?

BookLore makes it easy to store and access your books across devices, right from your browser. Just drop your PDFs and EPUBs into a folder, and BookLore takes care of the rest. It automatically organizes your collection, tracks your reading progress, and offers a clean, modern interface for browsing and reading.

Key Features:

• 📚 Simple Book Management: Add books to a folder, and they’re automatically organized.
• 🔍 Multi-User Support: Set up accounts and libraries for multiple users.
• 📖 Built-In Reader: Supports PDFs and EPUBs with progress tracking.
• ⚙️ Self-Hosted: Full control over your library, hosted on your own server.
• 🌐 Access Anywhere: Use it from any device with a browser.

Get Started

I’ve also put together some tutorials to help you get started with deploying BookLore:

What’s Next?

BookLore is still in early development, so expect some rough edges — but that’s where the fun begins! I’d love your feedback, and contributions are welcome. Whether it’s feature ideas, bug reports, or code contributions, every bit helps make BookLore better.

Check it out, give it a try, and let me know what you think. I’m excited to build this together with the community!
