Open source your apps, publish them on F-Droid, or allow downloads from your website—that's what I've been doing.


There might be enough lithium for EVs, but lithium is needed not only for EV batteries. Overall, there is no enough lithium to phase out fossil fuels. Not even for the first generation of technology devices. Here is the presentation given by prof. Simon Michaux where the problem is explained in more detail and supported with data:

Lithium is not the only problem, other minerals are too. And, just like the original article says - the pace of extraction.


I am curious what is your tech setup? Running on the dedicated server or cloud, which programming languages and libraries are you using?


I am running on python and AWS Lambda. Works really smooth battle tested it with 100 pdf pages and 400 fields to be merged and the Pdf is generated within 2 seconds. And I am currently using one of the lowest resource settings on AWS Lambda.

I am mostly using pikepdf and the a lot of secret sauce added ;)


I am not OP but pdftk is one of the best libraries I found for this. You can package the binary and run it on a server somewhere.


Where have you learned about design? Your apps look awesome. My look like command prompt. Is there any course, book, tutorial, blog that you would recommend?

To which specific groups you post on LinkedIn, Facebook and Reddit?


Coincidentally? I am thinking of access to non-blurred images and face detection algorithms.


Google App Engine, anyone?

If you decide to move from static to something more complex, you have bunch of languages to choose from.


How is it going with photos? I see smaller ones are inserted, bigger not. Perhaps implement photo resizing?


Photos should be working. Once the content is extracted the DOM is scanned for images to be downloaded. Images are then size to be 100% width of the screen.

It's looked fine for all the sites, I've used but results can really vary depending where the content comes from.

If you find any sites that aren't displaying correctly, send the urls to support@epub.press and I'll happily dig a little deeper.

Thanks for the feedback!


I like it. But today I got the message that the chrome has disabled it and that I should contact you and ask for extension to be published in the chrome web store.


I said end of week, but it became end of day :).

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/epubpress/pnhdnpnn...

Hope that helps!


Oh wow! That's the second person who's said that.

I didn't realize Chrome would do that...I've been using the files without issue.

I'll publish it before the end of the week to avoid this problem continuing! Thanks for the feedback!
