Just looking at the source and finding out it's JavaScript. Although I'm probably living in a cave and didn't use Linux often on the desktop since years, it is common practice now to write Gtk/Gnome apps in JS? I tought Vala was the cool language for that kind of apps...

For example bookworm, a GTK eBook viewer.

I don't think there are any. However, you easily can install alternative readers on Kobo ereaders, see here for a list of some hacks: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=295612

> Calibre: Failed to open Perhaps this says more about Arch than it does Calibre.
yep, is because Arch (basically because qt5 upgrade...), and with the issue on it: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/63051 $ calibre Fatal Python error: PyQt5.QtCore: Unable to embed qt.conf [1] 13321 abort (core dumped) calibre At that moment, I didn't have time to workaround on it :(
Could OP or someone else give an overview of how web-based interfaces work on native apps like this, without using something like electron? Is there a full js interpreter, dom, css parser, etc in something like Foliate?
The following are runtime requirements:
gjs (>= 1.52)
webkit2gtk
I wonder it is not Electron-based.
Also the app itself looks nice and native, good job.
