Colibri—a self-hostable web application to manage your (and your family's) ebook library, intended as a companion to Calibre. I want it to be a friendly, simple, capable, opinionated app to review your books, add metadata to them, get them onto your reader, share them with family and (few) friends, create a public shelf for bragging, connect with Goodreads etc., and exchange comments and reviews on books.

This is explicitly not intended to ever be monetised, and I enjoy all the implications that has on the design. Colibri is as much a tool I personally want to use, as it is a study in small-audience user interfaces, and the quest to build the perfect book catalog schema.

I'm looking for fellow book-loving people to work on Colibri, to create the best personal digital library possible. If you're interested, feel free to reach out via email (in bio), or on GitHub.
