I guess all I can say with this new reading app for iOS I guess is, good luck with all the file parsing issues you'll have to get the AI to fix.
Already tried downloading it, opened completely 2 different epubs and, yep they all have weird quirks, one seamed to display the toc title like twice and just displayed the toc very incorrectly, the other, well sort of the same thing, and yet they load fine in Apple Books or Paperback, so yeah.
@johann Paperback ftw
Sep 23, 2026, 9:49 AM@jonathan859 @johann Well these days it don't matter if your app works, just that some one made an app and like, I don't even know. Just about the vibes man. But anyway can't say nothing bad about them or we're not constructive and not nice so meh.
@pixelate @jonathan859 @johann It's temporary. In a few years, it won't matter who made the app, just that it works, since any app can claim anything. The current situation is riding the fact that, until two or three years ago, it was a good deal harder to make something which sort of works. Now, almost anyone can do that fairly easily, though it's still hard to account for anything even slightly unusual.
Sep 23, 2026, 10:39 AM@techsinger @jonathan859 @johann Yeah, it's easy to make an app now. Super easy. It's hard to make a good app, though, still. Like, all the edge cases, actual testing, all that.
@johann yeah honestly not sure why I wouldn't just use paperback either.
@talon The app seams to cater a lot to low vision people, I guess?
Also thos who like to read with cloud TTS things.
But I'm not either of those, very happy with something that can do Eloquence and just has really worked on/well done support for all sorts of text files.
