Further Development

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:

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
