Alexandria - FOSS Cross-Platform E-Book Reader
github.com
I would like to introduce Alexandria, A FOSS ebook reader that I have been working on for a little over a year.
This project was heavily inspired by an existing application for linux called Foliate. However, Foliate lacked some features that I wanted. In particular, cross platform support (Desktop & Mobile), A split screen reader, and cross platform syncing.
While far from complete, I would love feedback on what has been done so far. Currently, only Linux and Windows builds are available. But though utilizing Tauri and responsive UI, the app should be easy to bring across platforms.
Thanks!

Well done!
Just a heads up though, there's an existing server/client app combo also named Alexandria commonly used in public schools and libraries (in the US anyway). It's more of a book inventory and check-out system, but the shared name for a related app could still cause some confusion, and might prevent schools and libraries from utilizing your helpful tool.
Just thought you should know. Your efforts deserve to stand on their own!
Thank you so much. I would be open to renaming it and even taking suggestions in the future.
Could always go with a different suffix to keep the name itself - Alexandrio or Alexandrius or something?
