River of Ebooks

https://github.com/EbookFoundation/river-of-ebooks

About

The River of Ebooks serves as an easy-to-use ebook aggregator. Publishers can send metadata from new and updated ebooks through the River where it will be available for any downstream consumers to read, allowing for a more widely available ebook collection. This way, ebooks can be made available on all end user sites, instead of only the site they were published with.

Use cases

Finding a list of relevant ebooks and keeping them updated

The River provides a filterable feed of ebook metadata in OPDS2 format. Consumers can use this to find new ebooks to catalogue, and can then choose to receive updates to the metadata when new revisions of the ebook are published.

Convenient notifications of ebook updates

Consumers can find books without searching through the feed as well - just enter some filters and get notifications sent to a webhook whenever a book matching your filters is published.

Propogate ebook revisions quickly across multiple websites

Whenever a publisher sends ebook metadata through the River, it will be sent to any consumers who have chosen to be notified about changes to the book. This saves the publisher and consumers the trouble of having to worry about everyone having the latest version of the content.

river-of-ebooks's Issues

questions about user auth

I see that you've added some user auth.
What strategies are being used? username/password? email verification? Oauth?
Does Sails have out of the box user auth? if so, could you point me to the documentation? If not, what are you using?

Important to lay this all out very early in implementation. As I'm new to Sails, I will need more explanations than you might expect.

Add <meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1, width=device-width, maximum-scale=1, minimum-scale=1, user-scalable=no" /> to layout.ejs
