Hi everyone, I've been working on a project called Newt — it's an app for writing, reading, and listening to books. Kind of like a cross between a writing tool and a bookshelf, available for macOS, Android & iOS natively.
I've added lots of books. One part you might find interesting is the built-in AI assistant. Some models can run locally (so it works offline, the whole app is made offline-first actually) and can help with stuff like summarizing a chapter you just wrote, brainstorming story ideas, visualize scenes, generate images, answering questions about a book, etc. You can also just write without it — it doesn't get in the way.
Now, while I added lots of books, I don't want to take millions of books and upload it in one go, but rather check the book quality. There's a feature for uploading books as well (and edit it, like Calibre), but I'd like to clean up the ones I upload myself and put a good cover on it.
I can only upload public domain books, but I'll do a good job at cleaning them up.
