Port Arianna to Foliate-js
Arianna reader uses the epub.js, which is no longer actively maintained. This creates a challenge as the epub.js may not be able to keep up with the evolving standards and new changes. To address this issue, the proposed solution is to port Arianna to Foliate-js, which is an actively maintained epub renderer and has more features compared to epub.js and is used by the Foliate ebook reader.
The problem that this project aims to solve is the need for a reliable and up-to-date epub rendering solution for the Arianna ebook reader.
Work report
Week 1-2:
- Thoroughly reviewed the existing epub.js (epub-viewer.js) implementation in Arianna, identifying features and functionalities to be ported to foliate-js.
- Understood the usage of epub.js in Arianna, including rendering, navigation, annotations, and user interactions
Week 3-4:
- Identified all places where epub.js (epub-viewer.js) is integrated with Qt in Arianna, comparing it to foliate-js's implementation of the same features.
- Prepared a draft merge request to document the changes made.
- Started implementing the core rendering functionality in foliate-js, using the view.js module to create the main rendering component and implementing the open() method to load the book. [1] [2]
Week 4-6:
- Familiarised myself with the current Foliate ebook reader implementation of the foliate-js.
