I run it on a server and use calibre-web as a frontend. Has a nice UI and works well for my purposes: https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web https://github.co

  Interesting. I wonder if you could embed something based on calibre-web in an Electron app. It'd be one way to get a better UI in a more accessible way...

    I just use chrome for this: chrome.exe --app="https://url.of.calibre.web" https://url.of.calibre.web" Removes the top bar and shows the favicon as the application icon. You can create a shortcut/.desktop and it'll act pretty much like an electron app would.

      But you still gotta run the 'web app' somewhere, responding on some port (even if only on localhost)?

    With the new server backend that has been released where you can add remove books and modify metadata etc. It would be lot easier to build a different frontend. The Calibre Dev is quite open to take patches that increase functionality without taking away previous functionality so he would be probably open to adding more functions in the server.

  How is this better then running the standard calibre in daemon mode. I sync my library to a vps and do this: /usr/bin/calibre-server --daemonize --enable-auth --url-prefix=/calibre --port 8000 --enable-local-write --log /home/user/calibre_log /home/user/user_library
