Hello!

For Context - Here's the initial teaser post

ReadMeABook is getting very close to being done with MVP and I am looking for a couple of savvy users who are using my same media stack to test things out, look for bugs, and provide overall user feedback.

Specific requirements (based on MVP limitations):

  • Plex Audiobook Library
  • Preferably Audnexus metadata management in plex
  • English (other audible regions not supported currently)
  • qBitTorrent as downloading backend (torrent only)
  • Prowlarr indexer management

Some key features added since the last post:

  • BookDate - AI Powered (Claude/OpenAI) book suggestions using your existing library and/or how you rated your library to drive compelling suggestions
  • Managed user account support in plex
  • Cleaned up UI all over the place
  • Interactive search supported for unfound audiobooks
  • Fully hand-held setup with interactive wizard
  • Metadata tagging of audio files (to help plex match)

Some things I know you guys want, but aren't here yet:

  • Audiobookshelf support
  • Usenet support
  • Non-audible results in search and recommended
  • Non-english support

Here's a video sample of walking through the setup wizard

Here's a video of some general use, similar to the last post

If you meet the above requirements and are interested in participating, comment below and let me know!
