Looks for something like calibre web but not terrible
I’ve tried the a number of the ones being mentioned, but the best for me has been Audio bookshelf . It has a good mobile app, allows collections, tries to pull Metadata, offline reading for the apps, etc.
Look into Grimmory, the replacement for booklore. Apparently it’s the same maintainers just a fork since the creator of booklore closed it down (no major changes yet, just housekeeping). I’m happy with it.
I have found Kavita to be excellent.
Plus one for Kavita. Only slight bump is that it wants books to be in series because it’s quite manga focused.
Calibre Web Automated is a completely different project. I am liking it so far.
Some people have also suggested Kavita.
Is there something specific you don’t like about Calibre Web? Might help pinpoint the recommendations.
Janky and doesn’t look nice
Well, I’m not sure what ‘janky’ encompasses for you but when you add themepark, it looks much better.
The real MVP!
I’m running Kavita. It’s been good and tracks your reading progress. The catch is that there’s no upload, you have to put your files on the disk and then rescan
Did you try Calibre Web or Calibre Web Automated
Maybe CWA is what you’re looking for?
It was the UI he didn’t like so it’s not going to be much different.
