Esoecially when it’s a massive and from what I hear messily coded thing like Calibre. I’ve been looking for alternatives for a long time but nothing has the massive variety of features that Calibre has for library and book management.
Booklore is looking promising. It’s more like Calibre Web than plain Calibre though in that its an app you host and access via browser rather than just having your local Calibre install. It’s got some bugs still when it comes to book ingestion, but it doesn’t rely on a Calibre database whatsoever and just uses and optionally embeds book metadata, so you can just point it at your book folder and go.
