The README later presents Bookokrat as a feature-rich terminal reader rather than a minimal pager, including Calibre library detection, table-of-contents navigation, PDF support, annotations, SyncTeX support, and Vim-style controls. ### Adoption history Bookokrat is a young package with Homebrew packaging in the input metadata and an upstream GitHub Pages documentation site. Its adoption is likely among terminal-first readers, developers reading technical PDFs, and users who want ebook navigation without leaving a console workflow. ### How it is used The documented interface emphasizes keyboard operation: library and reader panes, chapter navigation, search, marks, comments, theme selection, reading history, and PDF controls. Configuration is stored under the user's Bookokrat config directory with separate files for settings and keybindings. ### Why package nerds care Bookokrat is notable as part of the modern terminal-app revival: it packages an experience that used to be GUI-only, but with rich TUI conventions and configuration files. For package indexes, it is a reminder that terminal productivity tools now include media-like workflows such as ebooks and PDFs. ### Timeline - 2025-03-27: Initial commit for a basic EPUB reader with TUI. - 2025-10-28: v0.1.0 tag appears. - 2025-12-13: v0.2.0 tag appears. - 2026-03-07: v0.3.7 tag appears. - 2026-06-06: v0.3.12 tag appears. - 2026-06-25: Recent repository commits show ongoing tweaks after v0.3.12. ### Related projects - Calibre is related through the documented library detection feature. - EPUB, PDF, and DjVu are related document formats in the package tags and documentation. - VimTeX is related through the documented SyncTeX/editor integration workflow. ### Sources - current_curation.config-file-location - - - - source_facts.package-manager ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for bookokrat.
