New features for the in-browser viewer

Various server related things that I intend to get to soon-ish, in no particular order.

New features for the in-browser viewer

• When reaching the end of the book, show a popup that allows the user to rate the book and optionally delete it from the local storage.

• Allow loading fonts from the computer running calibre and using them for reading.

New features for the server generally

• Add a way to search the set of locally available books stored in offline storage.

• Automatic Let's Encrypt integration so that using HTTPS is easier Should wait for the acme v2 protocol endpoint: https://letsencrypt.org/2017/06/14/acme-v2-api.html Turns out this fairly pointless to do, since it only works if the server is running on port 80, which is a privileged port.

• Some way to manage remote calibre server instances via the calibre GUI. Two possibilities are:

  1. Have the remote server appear as a "device" in the GUI. You can then send books to the remote server, update metadata, etc. just as you would when connecting calibre to a real device.
  2. Have the remote server appear as a library in the GUI (2) is preferable in terms of features/functionality, but is much harder to implement in a performant and semantically correct manner.
