First Prototype

first version of lib (super super prototype)

http://37.139.6.124:8080/

with first API setup:

http://37.139.6.124:8080/api/books

{
  "books": [
    {
      "author": "Jan Tschichold", 
      "file": "The_Form_of_the_Book___Essays_on_the_Moral_-_Jan_Tschichold.pdf", 
      "id": 1, 
      "title": "The Form of the Book"
    }
  ]
}

Code on the git:

https://git.xpub.nl/xpub-lib/log.html

Long To Do List (obviously)

• much more properties for books
  • multiple authors?
  • description
  • date uploaded?
  • ISBN
  • MD5 to link books (more stable than db ID)
  • Filetype (PDf, mobi, epub)
  • Publisher
  • Tags
  • Categories? (also important for infrastructure)
• Keep SQLite or python shelve? -> RQLITE
• function to make stacks
• delete books from DB?
• Coverimage from PDF / ebooks
  • extract_cover.py <PDF file path> already done, but need to connect
• access to python scripts
  • like: python add_book.py <path to file> <name> <properties …>
• do we need users? (→ also conceptional question) -> NO USERS
• Interface, Interface, Interface
  • search, links, categories, shelfs/stacks
• API
  • make all that above accessible via RESTful API
  • add POST / PUT / DELETE (not sure how it works yet)

–

• Make Files only accessible via local network, but catalog online
