[personal profile] jadislefeu posted: On setting up Calibre for fanfic



A good guide on how to use Calibre for downloading fanfic. I like using FanFicFare over Ao3's native downloading option because of the sweet, sweet metadata.

Part 1: Setup Tutorial

So we've setup Hermit and made our first lite app! High-five everybody! Now what? We customize the hell out of it of course!

My Dreamwidth lite app settings for the interested. )

So there you go, a knock-off Dreamwidth app that'll do in a pinch. If you want more, here's a list of features from the developer's website. I think you can do a lot more customization if you're paying for it's premium service since you have the ability to write scriptlets (which are a bit like bookmarklets apparently) but this will do for most people I think.

*Edit: I am adding a text area with a link for easy sharing as suggested in one of [personal profile] potofsoup suggestions for reblog alternatives. In a way, you're also achieving Pillowfort's "opt to reblog" function because you have to manually add the text box for the link.

So I see a lot of people clamouring for a mobile app for Dreamwidth and here's something to tide you over until we get better mobile functionality.

Now Apple lovers I've got to be upfront with you, I think you're stuck with Safari's Add to Homescreen feature. For Android users though, there's Hermit.

Now for Dreamwidth specifically I can't remember if I used the mobile site but I'd generally recommend you use the mobile version of any site, if available. I link to my Reading Page specifically, because I really only want to check on activity on mobile, but you can link to Home or Latest Things or even a comm!

Part 2 will be about the things you can do with it.
