{
  "books": [
    {
      "author": "Jan Tschichold", 
      "file": "The_Form_of_the_Book___Essays_on_the_Moral_-_Jan_Tschichold.pdf",

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?
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)
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)
