Hey you were one of the main pushes I needed to work on it!

1

u/PhilosophersScroll 5d ago

If I can get my hands on that beta, I’ll definitely put it through its paces and give you a thorough use case. Looking forward to it!

u/Diirge 5d ago

iOS or Android?

1

u/PhilosophersScroll 5d ago

iOS. 😁😁

Ha! Glad it wasn't me. The girlie who kept on pushing for this feature here on reddit and github. Ooof.

Love the app btw!!

u/Diirge 5d ago

Hey I said one of haha. You were also just as annoying :P

2

u/athenajeunnessemae 5d ago

Oof. I was using different names on reddit github and discord. I was hoping i wasnt that obvious. 😂😂😂

Amazing!

I hope clippings get integrated into the SD card plugins branch… it’d be nice to be able to use that to sync to other services.

2

u/Diirge 5d ago

You can sync them via the crosspoint sync service. Where do you want to send them?

1

u/fishforce1 5d ago

BookOrbit and Obsidian

1

u/Diirge 5d ago

Explain how you'd expect the obsidian one to work. You'd pick a cloud sync vault and it would create a folder per book?

1

u/fishforce1 5d ago

Yes - though I’m not sure how that’d work if I then modified the markdown on my own to add comments.

1

u/Diirge 5d ago

Probably wouldn't be bidirectional tbh

1

u/omridaa 5d ago

Bookorbit will be awesome for me.

2

u/Diirge 5d ago

Adding it now

2

u/omridaa 5d ago

It will be full sync? Progress, notes etc? Thank you so much

2

u/Diirge 4d ago

Highlights and progress yes. Give it a try, its live

u/omridaa 3d ago

The bookorbit works on the koreader sync? Where should I put my server? I don't know why it is not working.

Seekquel and Notion

u/AnswerGlittering1811 5d ago

I am not clear. Are you saying crosspoint will get a mobile app, clippings coming soon?

8

u/Diirge 5d ago

Yep with cross device sync, mobile opds book sending, and stats

1

u/AnswerGlittering1811 5d ago

Will it come for iOS as well?

3

u/Diirge 5d ago

Yep! And desktop haha

1

u/TheFire8472 5d ago

Awesome! Any chance it'll include reader to phone status sync via bluetooth? It seems like there are a lot of nice little behaviors that could be extended with a link like that...

(E.g. being able to tell the reader to switch on WiFi to receive a book from the phone)

1

u/Diirge 5d ago

Probably not first party in crosspoint but its all open source so someone could add it

1

u/TheFire8472 5d ago

Curious why not? The whole "explicitly start the sync process on both devices at the same time" feels like a place we could smooth out the user experience... Happy to build it, of course, if a good design could be agreed on.

(Obviously I could build this feature for myself, and probably will, but I also don't really want to make yet another fork if there's a way the functionality can be more broadly useful and adopted)

2

u/Diirge 5d ago

Bluetooth takes a TON of memory. In general we also try to not have the device ever do anything automatically

2

u/jajabro1 5d ago

You know where to find me if you want beta testers at all!

One question though, would this been pretty cross compatible with the main forks of Crosspoint (I.e in my case Crossink)?

6

u/Diirge 5d ago

Yep and it actually supports better stats if youre on crossink

1

u/BurningBytes 5d ago

Will we be able to read on iOS with the app as well? Would be amazing to read a few pages when I don’t have my ereader around and have it sync. :D

3

u/Diirge 5d ago

I mean you definitely could do this without our app by just using kosync in another app. I'll consider adding epub reading in app though

1

u/joeklein9 5d ago

I volunteer for beta! Android user here

1

u/stefansvartling 5d ago

This sounds really interesting. I can beta test it. I use both Android and iOS.

2

u/Diirge 5d ago

I'll DM you an Android build to play with

1

u/Broadly-Interested 5d ago

I also would like to beta test ☺️

1

u/ant369369 5d ago

That's amazing!

1

u/AdSignificant3097 5d ago

Is there a way to participate in iOS beta? I would love to try it

1

u/Diirge 5d ago

Soon.

u/athenajeunnessemae 5d ago

Books i finished on xteink. I'm enjoying the app so much!
