GitHub Repo

This is a simple web app to save stories from Literotica to ePub. In my own workflow, I download stories to a home server running Calibre-Web-Automated, which renders the stories available to other devices through its OPDS functionality. From there, I can read on my tablet, phone, e-reader, etc.

This app includes the following features:

  • Renders a simple web page prompting the user for a Literotica URL to download
  • Retrieves story, converts to ePub, and saves to a predefined location (defined in Docker Compose file)
  • Bundles story category and tags into metadata
  • Generates a cover image showing the story title and author name
  • Identifies if the story is part of a series and bundles subquent stories into a single ePub
  • Provides an API to download stories directly from iOS shortcuts (useful for my own workflow to browse Literotica, find a story I like, and quickly save to my library via the Share menu)
  • (Optional) Sends Telegram notifications when the story is downloaded
  • (Optional) Provides somewhat extensive logging (helpful for debugging but can be disabled in Docker Compose file)

This is my first time publishing a docker image, so I look forward to any feedback! Hope this app is useful for others who enjoy the stories on Literotica
