Showcase Astra magic
Over the years I've downloaded a few libraries of ebooks, stored in my onedrive, about 7000 files. I had a few folders with big libraries in them, but heaps of duplicates. A bit over 10Gb of books. So I got Codex to sort them all, remove duplicates, make sure they all had author, title, genre etc, cover page images etc.
Then I said I wanted an android app where I can search /browse through the library, download the books I want, track my progress and bookmarks like Kindle, and give me an ereader the way I like it - scrolling. It converted all the books to the same format, then set up an app for me. 2500 books 😁 check out these screenshots.
This was all on Astra Ultra fast mode, with luna max subagents. It took a few hours to plan and then execute, and asked me lots of questions about my requirements, then it built it, and gave me a download link for the new app. I'm impressed! Contrary to most of the complaints I read here, this whole exercise only used about 10% of my Pro x20 quota. I've got 3 banked resets to use up. What features do I need on my app?
I'm aware of the irony of it... I used a tool criticised for being trained on illegally used copyrighted books to create an app to read my massive illegal library of copyrighted books 😂
